Techrsquos Center for the Develop-ment and Application of Internetof Tings Technologies (CDAIT)aims to play a large and importantrole in developing the technologyneeded to make communicationbetween diff erent electronics eas-ier according to Dr Alain Lou-chez the Managing Director ofCDAIT

Recently Airwatch ATampTand Samsung Electronics whichare all internationally operatingcompanies have made invest-ments in CDAIT According toLouchez this is a result of eachcompanyrsquos desire to get involved

with the research occurring atTech

According to Louchez the ap-plications of CDAIT may involvea normal household product suchas a washing machine Hypotheti-cally the washing machine wouldcome equipped with sensors that

will notify the supplier that one ofits parts is about to break Tenthe consumer would have the op-

tion to request that someone besent to preemptively 1047297x the partLouchez addressed some of the

current obstacles preventing someof CDAITrsquos technology from be-ing implemented Tere are anumber policy boundaries andon July 29 a debate in the UnitedStates House of Representativestook place dealing with privacyand regulatory concerns related toInternet of Tings technology

A technological barrier thatCDAIT is working to overcomeis how to power these sensorsSensors some of which must beplugged into the wall or support-ed by a battery are ultimately im-

practical in this many situationsso methods for harvesting energythat already exists in the immedi-ate surroundings of the relevantdevice are being explored accord-ing to Louchez An example ofthis in action would be utilizingthe vibrations of a bridge as carsdrive over it in order to power adevice

According to Louchez creat-ing a successful Internet ofTingsinvolves a complex value chain

with links that go from the sen-sors and actuators that capturedata to how that information iseventually extracted At Techsuch collaboration is currently

occurring between a number ofexperts from all diff erent partsof the chains creating a uniquelyproductive experience

According to Louchez engi-neers will be able to collaborate

with experts on policy throughutilization of CDAIT and its ca-pability to bring expertise in dif-ferent areas together

In some situations where ex-pert collaborations are necessaryCDAIT will endeavor to facilitatesuch work from the beginningrather than forcing the partiesto attempt to mesh their respec-tive work together later down theroad

CDAIT opens new doors

From Sep 2-4 Techrsquos Officeof Government and CommunityRelations hosted a group of 25congressional sta ff ers from vari-ous districts around GeorgiaTe sta ff ers participated in var-

ious talks and presentations in-cluding a speech by current TechPresident GP ldquoBudrdquo Petersonregarding Tech and its impact onboth the state and national levels

As part of thi s two-day programthe congressmen attended a Stu-dent Entrepreneurship Panel

hosted by three current Tech stu-dents as well as by Dr Craig For-est an Associate BioengineeringProfessor

During the one-hour panelthe congressional sta ff ers listenedas the three students all partici-pants in an InVenture Prize (IP)competition at some point in theirTech careers told the stories ofhow they innovated worked hardand ultimately created award-

winning inventions Ten thesta ff ers conducted a question andanswer session with the panelists

within which they were able to askthe students and professor aboutanything related to the InVenturePrize and their entrepreneurial

workStudent panelist Rachel Ford

discussed the relationship be-

tween Tech and the IP created bystudents

ldquoWhatrsquos really amazing is thatGeorgia Tech helps you as if itrsquos(referring to the studentrsquos IP) isyour ownrdquo said Ford ldquoAs soonas the InVenture Prize is over somany professors would help ushellipand they werenrsquot getting paid ex-tra to do it and it really shows thestrength of the community here atTechrdquo

ldquoOne of the misnomers here isthat Georgia Tech is getting richof all this great IP hellip when youbalance the books at the end ofyear we are making no moneyrdquo

Forest said ldquoAs a public universi-ty its part of our mission to get allthese great ideas off the bookshelfand out thererdquoTe sta ff ers also seemed cu-

rious regarding the presence of women in the science technol-ogy engineering and mathemat-ics (STEM) disciplines as well asentrepreneurial communities and

what Tech was doing to furthertheir involvement

ldquoWhen I started here there were maybe a few girls in my engi-neering classesrdquo said Ford ldquoIf youlook at the InVenture Prize con-testants over the past few yearsthere are more and more girls tak-ing part which is very exciting hellipIrsquove never been treated with disre-spect If anything all Irsquove gotten

is encouragement and advice from

all my male peersrdquoMegan Fetcher another stu-

dent panelist also commented onthe topics of discussion

ldquoIrsquom a tour guide and Irsquom see-ing more and more girls in mygroups and itrsquos very exciting to seethat Georgia Tech is spearheadingthis developmentrdquo Fetcher said

Finally when asked about how

the InVenture Prize process hada ff ected their future goals and

whether they now planned oncontinuing work in their individ-ual ventures the three panelistsdescribed diff ering future plans

Yet all of the panelists present atthe event pointed to their indi-vidual entrepreneurial experiencethat the competition a ff orded

them as having had a major im-pact on their personal and profes-sional development

ldquoGoing through all of thisI would say that the experiencehelps in both personal entrepre-neurship as well as innovation

within a companyrdquo Ford said ldquoSo with that if I have a g reat idea I would love to go out and do itrdquo

for our people because of howhard I know they work mdash andIrsquom not only talking about facultyand sta ff but the students as wellrdquoGalil said ldquoIrsquom known as lsquotheemail deanrsquo because of how fre-quently I send messages about ourpeoplersquos accomplishments To seeso many people using their talentsand energy to help advance thecause of the College of Comput-ing and Georg ia Tech thatrsquos whatkeeps me goingrdquo

In the past Galil has contrib-uted to two journals as an editor-in-chief His other activities haveincluded working as the chiefcomputer science adviser in theUnited States to the Oxford Uni-versity Press

Galilrsquos tenure now extends1047297ve more years to serve currently5000 plus CoC students in-

cluding those students currentlyenrolled in the Online Master ofScience in Computer Science de-gree (OMSCS)

ldquoJust this week there was a wonderful story about one of ourOMSCS students stumbling uponGooglersquos lsquosecretrsquo interview process while doing a Google se arch andthat student partly attributed hissuccess in ultimately landing the job at Google to hi s part icipationin the online MS programrdquo Galilsaid ldquoTere are more stories likethat and with nearly 2900 stu-dents enrolled this semester there will be many more in the futureTo know that we launched a pro-gram that will help so many peo-ple improve their own skills andadvance their careers is tremen-dously satisfyingrdquo

OMSCS is aimed at improv-ing a ff ordability and accessibilityof higher education Besides theinitiation of OMSCS in partner-ship with Udacity and ATampT

other expansions were made dur-ing Galilrsquos tenure Tese includethe creation of Institute for Dataamp High Performance Computing which is led by Interim DirectorRichard Fujimoto the Center for21st Century Universities (C21U)directed by former Dean RichDeMillo the Institute for Robot-ics amp Intelligent Machinesand theInstitute for People and Technolo-gy also dubbed as CoCrsquos 1047297rst ldquoin-terdisciplinary research instituterdquo whose 1047297rst executive director isthe CoC professor Beth Mynatt

ldquoResearch operations likeC21U are another natural out-come of an environment thatspends so much time thinkingabout how we can make educationbetter serve the needs of our stu-dents and of societyrdquo Galil said

Galilrsquos areas of expertise in-clude the design and analysis ofalgorithms complexity cryptog-raphy and methods of experimen-tal design

Te National Science Founda-tion will fund a $12 million net- work of universities and instituteslooking to design more sustain-able cities with Tech as an anchorinstitutionTe project officially titled

ldquoIntegrated Urban InfrastructureSolutions for EnvironmentallySustainable Healthy and Liv-able Citiesrdquo aims to test and re-1047297ne strategies to make cities moreeco-friendly and desirable to livein Nine universities includingTech University of Minnesotaand Columbia University will work with policy ana lysts and in-dustry partners over the course ofthe next four years to implementnew infrastructure in ldquotest citiesrdquothroughout the United States andIndia Te candidates for thosetest cities include New York De-troit and Atlanta

Tech will play a critical role in

this Sustainability Research Net- work (SRN) According to Ar-mistead Russell Regents Professorof Environmental Engineering atTech and Co-Principal Investiga-tor with the sustainable cities proj-ect there are three primary rolesTech will play in the network

ldquoFirst we bring unique re-search capabilities to the networkinvestigatorsrdquo Russell said ldquoInparticular we are actively engagedin research directly related tohealth be it the linkage betweenair pollution and health com-munity involvement and the con-structed environment and healthor climate extremes [such as]drought and 1047298ooding risksrdquo

Secondarily Tech will be lead-ing the educational component of

the program with Nisha Botchw-

ey Associate Professor of City andRegional Planning at the helmIn addition to hosting training workshops and summer schoolsessions Tech will begin off eringa new interdisciplinary graduatecerti1047297cation in ldquoIntegrated Infra-structure Solutions for Sustain-able Healthy and Livable Citiesrdquoand will also be conducting out-reach eff orts with the K-12 com-munity in AtlantaTirdly Tech personnel are

playing key roles in the networkrsquosleadership cohort In additionto Russell and Botchwey DrMarion Usselman Associate Di-rector of Federal Outreach andResearch will be working withTechrsquos Center for Education In-tegrating Science Mathematicsamp Computing (or CEISMC) oncreating and implementing K-12lesson plans on sustainability andeco-friendliness

Techrsquos contributions to theSRN will focus primarily on cre-ating solutions to sustainability

problems in Atlanta according toRussell ldquoWe plan to conduct speci1047297c

studies linking Atlantarsquos infra-structure air quality health and well-beingrdquo Russell said ldquoTis isto be done in part using smartphone technology advanced heatand air quality forecasting andcommunity air quality monitor-ing sensorsrdquo

Over the next four years theSRN will bring a renewed focuson sustainability research andeducation to Tech according toRussell In addition to integrating with the current Serve-Learn-Sus-tain initiative Tech students willbe engaged in research working with city partners and earning athree-course certi1047297cate in Sus-

My roommates blast a lot ofbubblegum pop in our apart-ment the kind of vapid auto-tune that shrivels hipstersrsquo earsand makes the geriatrics sayldquoWhy do kidslisten to that gar-bagerdquo

Tere aresongs we haveplayed so of-

ten the lyricsare etched intoour walls Halfof these songs Ilike and will singalong to occa-sionally in keyTe other half confuse me

A recurring pattern exists when it comes to music and ag-ing around age thirteen peopletend to start out with basic Top40 hits and then in their lateteens and twenties they branchout into other genres Musicaltastes peak in the late twentiesand stagnate just afterwardsmdash according to Spotify userscease adding new artists to theirlistening patterns around age33 After age 33 Top 40 hits

become a foreign language onlythe youngsters speakI am already at the point

where I do not recognize halfof what sits on the charts but Ihave 1047297nally gotten to where it nolonger bothers me Like every-one who goes to college I haveless and less in common withmy high school self each day in-cluding the fact that I no longerfake having a good taste in mu-sic In high school staying cur-rent in music whether with TopHits or underground artists soindie you could make up a bandname was almost a requirementif you wanted to function so-cially I pretended to like bands whose names sounded like ran-dom word assortments read off

of Scrabble and pop artists who

replaced a letter of their name with some kind of punctuationmark In college nobody caresMusic has diverged so thor-oughly that only listening to

one genre is likeonly reading onepage of a bookOne of the bestparts about col-lege is that you

are introducedto so many newpeople who willintroduce you tonew artists andsongs you prob-ably would not

have stumbled upon otherwise You can switch on WREK radioor pop over to Under the Couchto hear something diff erent Youcan stumble through music fes-tivals or be a face in the crowdat the Homecoming concertStreaming sites pair you up with genres like an audio speeddating service and before youknow it your iTunes library hastripled in size Spotify even hasDiscover Weekly where theirservice will compare songs you

like and create a new playlist foryou every week You can evenmingle with local artists on At-lantarsquos underground music sceneand connect with college-ageartists and smaller bands Tereis no point in holding onto onegenre or falling into a concretehabit Tere is no need to feelproud that you are the only per-son on the planet who listens toa certain indie band and there isno reason to fake a good taste inmusic because it no longer mat-ters who you listen to

So when my roommatesblast something catchy andautotuned and I have no idea what the song is or who it isby I sit back and listen andam thankful that I have years

Being a vegetarian isnrsquot reallythat hard nowadays I remember

when I was younger my familyand I would go on road tripsand wersquod stop in the middleof nowhere forfood and strug-gle to 1047297nd some-thing other thanfries and a salad

Now we just

stop at a TacoBell or SubwayI still rememberthe 1047297rst time I

walked into aTaco Bell and

was blown awayby the sheer number of op-tions I had replace anything

with beans Taco Bell was veg-etarian fast food paradise andquite frankly still is Irsquove no-ticed that a rising number ofnice restaurants are off eringmore vegetarian options be it agood veggie burger or just reallygood pasta but therersquos still a lagin the world of fast food

I bring up fast food becauseitrsquos the most convenient foodespecially for college students

See the thing is cooking is mybest bet as a vegetarian butsometimes I just donrsquot want tocook I also donrsquot want some-thing so fancy I have to lookdecent and I donrsquot want to wa itfor my food I want somethingquick and easy something witha drive through Burger Kinghas its veggie burger and Chick-Fil-A has its wraps but thereare so many other restaurantsthat could have more

For example McDonaldrsquosis not ideal for a vegetariantheyrsquove got fries a salad andsome breakfast items but noveggie burger In other coun-tries theyrsquove customized speci1047297cbrands to the countriesrsquo tastesIn India McDonaldrsquos has ma-

sala patties and plenty of other

vegetarian options Irsquom notasking for a masala pattie butit would be nice to have a de-cent black bean burger I wantto be able to say Irsquove eaten a

Big Mac Sure it would be vege-tarian but it justseems like one ofthose formativeexperiences

Ask any veg-etarian they willtell you that op-tions have signif-icantly improvedover the last de-cade and there

are some pretty delicious meatsubstitute products out there

Food has always been alarge part of my life and thereis very little I love more thansharing a meal with the peopleI care about Irsquod like to be ableto do that without restraintI donrsquot want to have to go toMcDonaldrsquos and have a po-tato party by myself whileeveryone else is digging into theirburgers or go to Chick-Fil-Aand eat a cold wrap while people

are eating warm chicken sand- wiches I want to be able to eatsomething substantial and sat-isfying without having to crossmy 1047297ngers and hope that thefast food restaurant wersquore go-ing to has more than saladfor vegetarians

So why is it that there arestill so few fast food chains

with decent vegetarian optionsI get that the eating options inan area are in1047298uenced by anarearsquos culture and I also under-stand that accommodate thatculture isnrsquot the easiest thingBut I also see that the demograph-ic of these areas are changing Asa result I think that businessesincluding restaurants shouldre1047298ect the wants and needs of

their consumers

Fast foods should catermore to vegetarians

ldquo restaurants

are off ering more

vegetarian options

but therersquos still a lag inthe world of fast foodrdquo

It is the beginning of the endfor expensive cable and satelliteservices It seems like more ofthe younger generation is decid-ing to ldquocut the cordrdquo choosingto stream all of their entertain-ment instead of paying out thenose for a TV service As soonas I graduate and am living onmy own I will probably do thesame Content providers need torecognize this trend and maketheir shows and movies moreeasily available online

Te main problem with cableand satellite services is that mostcustomers end up paying for waymore content than what theyactually want Te customershave to buy channels in pack-ages at a high price but usuallyleave most of those channels un- watched On top of that theyhave to sit through commercialbreaks that seem to be longerand occur more frequently thanever before Contrast that expe-rience with watching a show onNet1047298ix or even Hulu Net1047298ixhas no commercials at all whileHulursquos breaks are de1047297nitely

shorter than the ones on TVPlus both services off er instantstreaming of a wide assortment

of content and have a better se-lection than what any cable orsatellite on-demand service canoff er

Services such as Sling TV areattempting to solve the problemof paying for unwanted contentby off ering their channels ldquoa lacarterdquo Consumers can pay formuch more specialized chan-nel packages at a much lowerprice than other providers andbe able to stream their contentacross multiple types of devices While this i s a step in the rightdirection it is still not as ben-e1047297cial to the consumer as beingable to choose individual chan-

nels or even stream individualprograms at an even lower cost At this point the only use

I have for a cable service is for watching live sports As a bigcollege football and hockey fanif I were to ditch cable I wouldnot be able to watch the vast ma-

jority of the games I want to seeVirtually every NHL game is oncable and only a small percent-age of college football games arebroadcast over the air

However I predict that thissituation will not persist formuch longer Sports leagues areslowly realizing the potentialand consumerrsquos preference instreaming content Hopefullythey will make more of theirgames available online and

customers can receive the sameviewing experience throughtheir internet connection that

they have known for yearsthrough their TV at a fractionof the cost (or even for free)

Related to the sports issuethe current system of contentdelivery for the professionalleagues is outdated and unfairSpeci1047297cally the limitations on

watching out of market gamesare arbitrary and detrimentalto the fans As an example Iam from Boston and a fan ofall their teams but I obviouslylive in Atlanta for school NFLgames are broadcast over the airfor free but each game is onlyavailable in certain markets IfI want to watch my Patriots onSunday afternoons the NFLdemands that I sign up for Di-recTV so that I can use theirexpensive NFL Sunday Ticketservice Instead of watching forfree I would have to pay $240($15 per game) to see my teamsimply because I live in a diff er-ent area of the country In anage where streaming services areat an all-time high these archa-ic policies simply do not makesense Hopefully in the near

future we will see more contentcreators make their works moreeasily accessible to everyone

Old cable needs to get with the timesldquo more of the younger

generation is deciding to

lsquocut the cordrsquo choosing

to stream all of their

entertainment rdquo

After nine long months myNew Yearrsquos resolution is still ontrack to be complete come Janu-ary Rather than promise to lose20 pounds gain 20 pounds or1047297nally read a book I decided onsomething that was actually at-tainable to try one new thingevery month Since making thatdecision I have become an avidkickboxer an unsuccessful blog-ger and a lover of the spicy chickensandwich Last month however Iraised the stakes to a new high I

went on my 1047297rst Tinder dateTe preparation for this task

was a feat in and of itself I had totake pictures with my dog comeup with a clever bio and carry outthe long and shallow process ofswiping After three arduous daysof questioning my motherrsquos assess-ment of my devilishly good looksand boyish charm the matchesslowly started coming in

All of the girls I met on Tinder

were perfectly normalT

ere weresporty blondes bookish brunettesand everything in between Some-

where in that spectrum thoughthere was Emily (whose name hasbeen changed in order to protecther identity)

Emily like many of my match-es 1047297t all of my requirements she

was a human female She was alsocute and she laughed at my jokesI thought I had found exactly

what I was look ing for I set up adate put on some real clothes andheaded into what proved to be oneof the most interesting afternoonsof my lifeTe beginning of the date was

exactly as I had expected it to beSiblings majors and television

were discussed and my mind was

able to paint a general picture of

this girl that was a stranger twohours prior It wasnrsquot until anoff hand remark about her namehowever that things took an in-teresting turn

One simple request ldquoDonrsquotGoogle my namerdquo sent my imagi-nation into overdrive Was I shar-ing a delicious pizza with a crimi-nal A low-key Olympic athlete

A closet porn star perhaps Mycuriosity overcame my obedienceand during a short trip to the

bathroom the least exciting of mythree possibilities was con1047297rmedStaring back from my phonescreen was Emily wearing an or-ange jumpsuit and an acrid scowl

She was very nice and we werehaving a great time so I felt noneed to press her for detai ls on hercriminal past Soon enough how-ever she sated my burning curios-ity and brought up the details ofher arrest I acted surprised whenshe told me she had been arrestedbut the look on my face when Iheard she was a drug dealer wasone of genuine shock

She had a Chaco tan was ob-sessed with ldquoTe Bachelorrdquo and

was studying mechanical engi-neering Needless to say she abso-lutely de1047297ed my schema of a drug

dealer Almost one month prior

to our date she was in handcuff s(not unlike the kind yoursquod usuallysee on a Tinder date) and in theback of a police car

But Emilyrsquos tale began monthsbefore that when life began serv-ing her a series of uncontrollablecircumstances She lost her moth-er was forced to forgo her collegeplans in order to stay local and

worked two jobs to support her-self Irsquom not condoning the sale ofdrugs but I believe she was justi-1047297

ed in feeling overwhelmed We 1047297nally 1047297nished our pizzaafter three hours of stories tearsand laughs and I drove homethoroughly satis1047297ed with my Tin-der experience Rather than lookat every criminal as the embodi-ment of their bad choices I nowunderstand that they could simplybe victims of circumstance

Most importantly I decidedthat everybody needs to go ona Tinder date before they die Itprovides you with the perspec-tive of a complete stranger andputs you in a situation that you

would otherwise never experi-ence Tere are certainly risks in-volved with Tinder but if you useit right you could be eating pizza

with a criminal and having the

time of your life

Swipe lef on judgements and

right on new perspectivesldquoEmily like many of my

matches fit all of my

requirements she was a

In the backdrop of a techni-cal university Tech is a campusrich in its world views thanks toits mix of cultures and religionsfrom around the world Many ofthe students here at Tech are ableto engage with those of similarbeliefs religious or otherwisethanks to the plethora of faith-based organizations Tis createsan opportunity for interfaith dia-logue mdash an opportunity beingused by students and sta ff fromvarious walks of Tech life Teseindividualsrsquo eff orts have led to thecreation of panels classes and sur-veys to help create an environmentbased on cooperation and under-standing at Tech

Many students have gottenactively involved in stimulatinginterfaith discussion on campusldquoI would say that Georgia Techis pretty comfortable with di-versityrdquo said Sophia Rashid arecent Tech graduate with a de-gree in International A ff airs ldquoAtthe same time I feel like we donrsquot

necessarily engage that diver-sity because we sort of take it forgranted I think that we see eachother a lot but we donrsquot necessar-ily know each otherrdquo

Earlier this year Sophia along with four other Tech studentsattended the Interfaith Leader-ship Institute (ILI) a programintended to equip students to

work with diverse religious andnon-religious identities on their

own campuses Tose same 1047297veattendees came back to Tech andorganized Better Together Day

where about forty students andsta ff came to listen and speak onfaith and belief Sophia explainedthat shersquod advise everyone to en-gage with those of other faiths

ldquoDonrsquot be afraid to share whoyou are and to seek to connect

with people on a deep level Itrsquos

stunning how much people whoare diff erent can really strengtheneach other and inspire each otherand do good togetherrdquo SophiasaidTe ILI is an event organized

by the Interfaith Youth Core whose goal is according to So-phia to bring students together toldquobe visionary about how we can bemore proactive about building re-

lationships across the communityand identifying things that matterto all of us that we can work to-gether to have an impact onrdquo

One of those common pointsis the necessity of helping othersldquoItrsquos something that pervades allthe faith backgrounds that wersquovelooked intordquo said Elizabeth Balgaone of Georgia Techrsquos delegates tothe ILI and director of MOVE

Techrsquos volunteer organizationShe explained that she 1047297nds thiscommon point inspiring sinceinterfaith community service issomething shersquos very interestedin bringing about ldquoTatlsquos what I

would want to see people havingdialogue and then acting on thedialogue and using it as a platformto do good for both our campusand Atlantardquo Elizabeth said

Tese opportunities for dis-course arenrsquot just being organizedby the students however A newcourse IAC 3803 will be off eredin the spring that will treat the in-teraction of diff erent worldviewsldquoI began to become aware of adesire on the part of students tohave a venue where they can talkabout the relationships betweenscience and engineering and reli-gion particularly in the contextof interfaith activitiesrdquo explainedDr John Cressler the electricalengineering professor organizingthe course Cressler came to thetopic of interfaith dialogue dur-ing his research for his historical1047297ction novels which are set inmedieval Spain during a period

of coexistence of Islamic Jewishand Christian communities Tecourse will be small and heavilydiscussion based with a large em-phasis on ethical implications thatadvances in science and engineer-ing bring to the world and howdiff erent world views might deal

with those implications Speci1047297cdetails are available on Cresslerrsquos

Te art of waking up early $amp$ (amp$)

$amp($amp) +amp$

Are you waking up every morn-ing enumerating all the expletivesin the English language Do youleave breakfast wishing that yourcup could hold more coff ee Doyou even eat breakfast at all Forall the inconveniences that anearly morning lecture brings itis a necessary evil for those of us

who seriously messed up our reg-istration Luckily not all is lostHere are a number of things thatyou can do to make your 8 amlecture not just bearable but en-

joyable As Ben Franklin once said

ldquoEarly to bed and early to risemakes a man healthy wealthy and

wiserdquo Going to bed early must beone of the most underrated evenridiculed ideas on any collegecampus However the bene1047297tsof sleeping early are indisputableStudies have shown that people

who go to sleep earlier are lesslikely to become obese and havebetter heart health Te 1047297rst stepto preparing for an early morn-

ing is sleeping earlier and why wouldnrsquot you if it could improveyour physical health

Secondly it is very importantto use an alarm correctly Te 1047297rstrule to using an alarm is that ifyou snooze you lose Hitting thesnooze button is never a good ideabecause falling asleep after yoursquovealready been woken up is detri-mental to your bodyrsquos circadianrhythms Plus it is important to

get used to waking up with con-viction if you are going to have todo it for the entire semester

Next make sure you allowyourself adequate time to showerget dressed and grab breakfastTere is no point in making it to

lecture on time if yoursquore starvingand you smell like a zoo Finallyhere comes the fun part choos-ing the jams that you wake up toPersonally I chose the most god-awful song I could possibly 1047297ndon my iPhone so that Irsquod have nochoice but to get out of bed andshut the darn thing up A songthat you like works just as well sothat your alarm isnrsquot too jolting inthe morning

Te 1047297nal step to waking upearly is to 1047297nd a reason why youdo it Some of us signed up forthe 8 am lecture because of theprofessor we really wanted Try to1047297nd something positive that re-sults from waking up Maybe you

have more free time in the after-noon Perhaps you get to see thesun rise or feel the frosty air that

will be long gone when all yourfriends emerge from their dorms

Whatever it is waking up forthat 8 am class shou ld be a bless-ing not a curse If you stick close-ly to the tips above and followyour routine consistently yoursquollbe strolling into 1047297rst period witha giant smile in no time

that the course will be structuredaround diversity and re1047298ectionand would not be a space for pros-elytizing ldquoTe invitation for stu-dents is that they will get to knowtheir worldview much betterrdquoCressler said Cressler will per-sonally handle applications thatinterested students can request byemail

Supporting this initiative isthe IDEALS survey which waslaunched this year and was sentout to all 1047297rst year students Tesurvey intends to gather informa-tion about belief and attitude to-

ward religion among the studentbody Te aim is to 1047297nd out whatmight be done to improve the cli-

mate of interfaith dialogue ldquoItrsquosabout creating safe spaces for it tohappen and part of it is knowing

where our student body stands which is what this survey let usknowrdquo explained Dr GeromeStephens Director for the Of-1047297ce of Leadership and Civic En-gagement Follow up surveys willcome in the future to assess howattitudes change during onersquos timeat Tech

With so much going on aroundcampus therersquos a lot for studentsto get involved in Tose inter-ested can contact Dean StephanieRay who is the Director of Diver-sity Programs or Sarah Perkins ofthe Office of Leadership and CivicManagement for more informa-tion

In March of this year ChefGuy Wong the restaurateur whodelivered Atlanta Asian fusion joints Miso Izakaya and YumBunz launched his third attemptat a hit restaurant Le Fat nestledamong countless other Westside restaurants and retail stores off ers Atlantans modestly priced Viet-namese food that is simple and well-executed

Just southwest of campus on

Marietta Street it is a manageable walk or a short Uber ride awayParking is available by valet or wherever possible as t here tend tobe open spots in the small lot be-hind Octane the coff ee shop

In the Great Gatsby F ScottFitzgerald remarks ldquoI like largeparties Teyrsquore so intimate Atsmall parties there isnrsquot any pri-vacyrdquo

Le Fat absolutely supports thisopinion the restaurant and all its

customers are captivated by a mu-tual energy Tere is nothing as-tonishing about the decor whichcould be improved but the smalldining room and closely arrangedtables bring another type of dy-namic mdash sound

Customers feel strangely com-fortable and happy with their fel-low restaurant-goers surroundingthem and laughing in an escapistmanner Loud restaurants can beirritating at times but its volumegives Le Fat a positive characteris-tic that makes the customersrsquo ex-perience much more fun

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

As an example of the serversrsquogood will Matthew a waiter lastSaturday walked through the

menu with a pescatarian custom-er outlining safe dishes and thosethat the cooks could modify with-out hesitation Te general hustleand bustle of the service sta ff givesthe dining room a busy vibe add-ing to the crazy high-tempo am-biance

Te ultimate objective of a res-taurant though is to serve superbfood and Le Fat does not let cus-tomers down by any means Tostart the bowl of phở broth at

only $3 is extremely a ff ordableand was smooth reserved anddelicious even without all the ricenoodles meat and herbs in a typi-cal bowl of phở

Te soft-shell BLT bun appe-tizer was n icely fried but proved tobe a bit overpowering when com-pared to the other delicate 1047298avorsof the steamed bun and the other1047297llers Te serverrsquos recommen-dation was the crowning jewel

though As an entree the clay potchicken achieves astounding lev-els of excellence

Te pot is brought to the tableand the server places it to lift thelid and overwhelm the guest withan immaculate fragrance Filled tothe brim with perfectly seasonedbeautifully cooked bite-sizedmorsels of chicken accompaniedby sauteacuteed onions peppers and aside of rice this dishrsquos simplicity

is what propels it to the next level Atlanta as a food Mecca

proves to be ever-expanding pro-viding new venue options everyyear (watch for the Ponce CityMarket food court openings)Tis year with Le Fat Guy Wongshows both his ability as a high-grade restaurateur and his culi-nary prowess as a chef a worthytrip for a magnetic atmosphereand fantastic food

Te Tech volleyball teamcoming off a 13-18 eff ort last sea-son has better intentions for theirsecond season under head coachMichelle Collier A Brazil nativeCoach Collier came to Tech lastseason after she took an impres-sive Jacksonville University Dol-phinrsquos team to the NCAA Tour-nament In her 1047297rst year as coachfor the Jackets the team showedimprovements from the previousseason in every statistical categoryand they to do the same this year

As the clock struck noon onFriday Aug 28 Yellow Jacketfans swarmed into the OrsquoKeefeGymnasium to cheer on the vol-leyball team in their season open-er against the Siena Bulldogs

Tis was the teamrsquos 1047297rst matchin the two-day four-match invita-tional known as the Georgia TechCourtyard by Marriott AtlantaMidtown Invitational and the

Jackets were out for a victory Ledby off ense from juniors TeeganVan Gunst and Lauren Pitz who

both had 9 kills the team played with u nity and ferocity sweepingthe Bulldogs in three sets 25-1425-17 and 25-17

Later that day the Jackets weremet with a challenge they couldnot surmount In a match that

went into the 1047297fth set Tech wasupended by the Coastal CarolinaChanticleers Te Jackets won the1047297rst set 25-17 and appeared to beon their way to another victory

however in the second and thirdframes Tech looked unwontedstruggling to 1047297nd its rhythmTech narrowly evaded defeat inthe fourth leg of the match es-caping with a 25-23 win but in a1047297fteen-point 1047297fth set the Chanti-cleers caught 1047297re winning the set15-9 and the match 3-2

A 1047297ve-set match would nothave been possible were it notfor the performances of the VanGunst twins juniors Teeganand Annika who both had hugematches

ldquoWe feed off each otherrsquos ener-gyrdquo T Van Gunst said ldquoWe pickeach other up when wersquore downand celebrate together in the goodmomentsrdquo

To this response the stats serveas evidence Annika had 13 killsand 13 digs while Teegan amassed22 kills and 13 digs Tough los-ing is never easy the Jackets werenot enervated by the defeat

ldquoWe just have to get past thisone and move on to the next twothis weekendrdquo T Van Gunst sa id

And move on they did Inthe two Saturday matches Tech

played with a vendetta embar-rassing their two opponents by apoint total of 150-80

In their noon contest againstUT-Martin the Jackets exercisedmore precision and volition thanthey did in their match versusCoastal Carolina limiting them-selves to only eleven errors Enroute to thumping the Skyhawks

junior London Ackerman pro-vided 1047297ve aces while sophomore

Sydney Wilson was mimicked by Annika as they contributed 11kills apiece

If hunger for redemption wasthe motivation for the UT-Martinmatch it was the status quo forthe Citadel match as Tech playedevery point with an edge Junior

Ashley Askinrsquos performance wasparticularly compelling as sheracked up 11 kills and 10 digs

throughout the match Sweep-ing the Bulldogs to wrap up theinvitational the Jackets now 1047297ndthemselves with a 3-1 record andan entire season ahead of them-selves Moving forward the Jack-ets look to do as all great teamshave done and turn this earlyseason momentum into a year in

which the Tech volleyball team will be remembered

Techrsquos Center for the Develop-ment and Application of Internetof Tings Technologies (CDAIT)aims to play a large and importantrole in developing the technologyneeded to make communicationbetween diff erent electronics eas-ier according to Dr Alain Lou-chez the Managing Director ofCDAIT

Recently Airwatch ATampTand Samsung Electronics whichare all internationally operatingcompanies have made invest-ments in CDAIT According toLouchez this is a result of eachcompanyrsquos desire to get involved

with the research occurring atTech

According to Louchez the ap-plications of CDAIT may involvea normal household product suchas a washing machine Hypotheti-cally the washing machine wouldcome equipped with sensors that

will notify the supplier that one ofits parts is about to break Tenthe consumer would have the op-

tion to request that someone besent to preemptively 1047297x the partLouchez addressed some of the

current obstacles preventing someof CDAITrsquos technology from be-ing implemented Tere are anumber policy boundaries andon July 29 a debate in the UnitedStates House of Representativestook place dealing with privacyand regulatory concerns related toInternet of Tings technology

A technological barrier thatCDAIT is working to overcomeis how to power these sensorsSensors some of which must beplugged into the wall or support-ed by a battery are ultimately im-

practical in this many situationsso methods for harvesting energythat already exists in the immedi-ate surroundings of the relevantdevice are being explored accord-ing to Louchez An example ofthis in action would be utilizingthe vibrations of a bridge as carsdrive over it in order to power adevice

According to Louchez creat-ing a successful Internet ofTingsinvolves a complex value chain

with links that go from the sen-sors and actuators that capturedata to how that information iseventually extracted At Techsuch collaboration is currently

occurring between a number ofexperts from all diff erent partsof the chains creating a uniquelyproductive experience

According to Louchez engi-neers will be able to collaborate

with experts on policy throughutilization of CDAIT and its ca-pability to bring expertise in dif-ferent areas together

In some situations where ex-pert collaborations are necessaryCDAIT will endeavor to facilitatesuch work from the beginningrather than forcing the partiesto attempt to mesh their respec-tive work together later down theroad

CDAIT opens new doors

From Sep 2-4 Techrsquos Officeof Government and CommunityRelations hosted a group of 25congressional sta ff ers from vari-ous districts around GeorgiaTe sta ff ers participated in var-

ious talks and presentations in-cluding a speech by current TechPresident GP ldquoBudrdquo Petersonregarding Tech and its impact onboth the state and national levels

As part of thi s two-day programthe congressmen attended a Stu-dent Entrepreneurship Panel

hosted by three current Tech stu-dents as well as by Dr Craig For-est an Associate BioengineeringProfessor

During the one-hour panelthe congressional sta ff ers listenedas the three students all partici-pants in an InVenture Prize (IP)competition at some point in theirTech careers told the stories ofhow they innovated worked hardand ultimately created award-

winning inventions Ten thesta ff ers conducted a question andanswer session with the panelists

within which they were able to askthe students and professor aboutanything related to the InVenturePrize and their entrepreneurial

workStudent panelist Rachel Ford

discussed the relationship be-

tween Tech and the IP created bystudents

ldquoWhatrsquos really amazing is thatGeorgia Tech helps you as if itrsquos(referring to the studentrsquos IP) isyour ownrdquo said Ford ldquoAs soonas the InVenture Prize is over somany professors would help ushellipand they werenrsquot getting paid ex-tra to do it and it really shows thestrength of the community here atTechrdquo

ldquoOne of the misnomers here isthat Georgia Tech is getting richof all this great IP hellip when youbalance the books at the end ofyear we are making no moneyrdquo

Forest said ldquoAs a public universi-ty its part of our mission to get allthese great ideas off the bookshelfand out thererdquoTe sta ff ers also seemed cu-

rious regarding the presence of women in the science technol-ogy engineering and mathemat-ics (STEM) disciplines as well asentrepreneurial communities and

what Tech was doing to furthertheir involvement

ldquoWhen I started here there were maybe a few girls in my engi-neering classesrdquo said Ford ldquoIf youlook at the InVenture Prize con-testants over the past few yearsthere are more and more girls tak-ing part which is very exciting hellipIrsquove never been treated with disre-spect If anything all Irsquove gotten

is encouragement and advice from

all my male peersrdquoMegan Fetcher another stu-

dent panelist also commented onthe topics of discussion

ldquoIrsquom a tour guide and Irsquom see-ing more and more girls in mygroups and itrsquos very exciting to seethat Georgia Tech is spearheadingthis developmentrdquo Fetcher said

Finally when asked about how

the InVenture Prize process hada ff ected their future goals and

whether they now planned oncontinuing work in their individ-ual ventures the three panelistsdescribed diff ering future plans

Yet all of the panelists present atthe event pointed to their indi-vidual entrepreneurial experiencethat the competition a ff orded

them as having had a major im-pact on their personal and profes-sional development

ldquoGoing through all of thisI would say that the experiencehelps in both personal entrepre-neurship as well as innovation

within a companyrdquo Ford said ldquoSo with that if I have a g reat idea I would love to go out and do itrdquo

Te National Science Founda-tion will fund a $12 million net- work of universities and instituteslooking to design more sustain-able cities with Tech as an anchorinstitutionTe project officially titled

ldquoIntegrated Urban InfrastructureSolutions for EnvironmentallySustainable Healthy and Liv-able Citiesrdquo aims to test and re-1047297ne strategies to make cities moreeco-friendly and desirable to livein Nine universities includingTech University of Minnesotaand Columbia University will work with policy ana lysts and in-dustry partners over the course ofthe next four years to implementnew infrastructure in ldquotest citiesrdquothroughout the United States andIndia Te candidates for thosetest cities include New York De-troit and Atlanta

Tech will play a critical role in

this Sustainability Research Net- work (SRN) According to Ar-mistead Russell Regents Professorof Environmental Engineering atTech and Co-Principal Investiga-tor with the sustainable cities proj-ect there are three primary rolesTech will play in the network

ldquoFirst we bring unique re-search capabilities to the networkinvestigatorsrdquo Russell said ldquoInparticular we are actively engagedin research directly related tohealth be it the linkage betweenair pollution and health com-munity involvement and the con-structed environment and healthor climate extremes [such as]drought and 1047298ooding risksrdquo

Secondarily Tech will be lead-ing the educational component of

the program with Nisha Botchw-

ey Associate Professor of City andRegional Planning at the helmIn addition to hosting training workshops and summer schoolsessions Tech will begin off eringa new interdisciplinary graduatecerti1047297cation in ldquoIntegrated Infra-structure Solutions for Sustain-able Healthy and Livable Citiesrdquoand will also be conducting out-reach eff orts with the K-12 com-munity in AtlantaTirdly Tech personnel are

playing key roles in the networkrsquosleadership cohort In additionto Russell and Botchwey DrMarion Usselman Associate Di-rector of Federal Outreach andResearch will be working withTechrsquos Center for Education In-tegrating Science Mathematicsamp Computing (or CEISMC) oncreating and implementing K-12lesson plans on sustainability andeco-friendliness

Techrsquos contributions to theSRN will focus primarily on cre-ating solutions to sustainability

My roommates blast a lot ofbubblegum pop in our apart-ment the kind of vapid auto-tune that shrivels hipstersrsquo earsand makes the geriatrics sayldquoWhy do kidslisten to that gar-bagerdquo

Tere aresongs we haveplayed so of-

ten the lyricsare etched intoour walls Halfof these songs Ilike and will singalong to occa-sionally in keyTe other half confuse me

A recurring pattern exists when it comes to music and ag-ing around age thirteen peopletend to start out with basic Top40 hits and then in their lateteens and twenties they branchout into other genres Musicaltastes peak in the late twentiesand stagnate just afterwardsmdash according to Spotify userscease adding new artists to theirlistening patterns around age33 After age 33 Top 40 hits

become a foreign language onlythe youngsters speakI am already at the point

where I do not recognize halfof what sits on the charts but Ihave 1047297nally gotten to where it nolonger bothers me Like every-one who goes to college I haveless and less in common withmy high school self each day in-cluding the fact that I no longerfake having a good taste in mu-sic In high school staying cur-rent in music whether with TopHits or underground artists soindie you could make up a bandname was almost a requirementif you wanted to function so-cially I pretended to like bands whose names sounded like ran-dom word assortments read off

of Scrabble and pop artists who

replaced a letter of their name with some kind of punctuationmark In college nobody caresMusic has diverged so thor-oughly that only listening to

one genre is likeonly reading onepage of a bookOne of the bestparts about col-lege is that you

are introducedto so many newpeople who willintroduce you tonew artists andsongs you prob-ably would not

have stumbled upon otherwise You can switch on WREK radioor pop over to Under the Couchto hear something diff erent Youcan stumble through music fes-tivals or be a face in the crowdat the Homecoming concertStreaming sites pair you up with genres like an audio speeddating service and before youknow it your iTunes library hastripled in size Spotify even hasDiscover Weekly where theirservice will compare songs you

like and create a new playlist foryou every week You can evenmingle with local artists on At-lantarsquos underground music sceneand connect with college-ageartists and smaller bands Tereis no point in holding onto onegenre or falling into a concretehabit Tere is no need to feelproud that you are the only per-son on the planet who listens toa certain indie band and there isno reason to fake a good taste inmusic because it no longer mat-ters who you listen to

So when my roommatesblast something catchy andautotuned and I have no idea what the song is or who it isby I sit back and listen andam thankful that I have years

Being a vegetarian isnrsquot reallythat hard nowadays I remember

when I was younger my familyand I would go on road tripsand wersquod stop in the middleof nowhere forfood and strug-gle to 1047297nd some-thing other thanfries and a salad

Now we just

stop at a TacoBell or SubwayI still rememberthe 1047297rst time I

walked into aTaco Bell and

was blown awayby the sheer number of op-tions I had replace anything

with beans Taco Bell was veg-etarian fast food paradise andquite frankly still is Irsquove no-ticed that a rising number ofnice restaurants are off eringmore vegetarian options be it agood veggie burger or just reallygood pasta but therersquos still a lagin the world of fast food

I bring up fast food becauseitrsquos the most convenient foodespecially for college students

See the thing is cooking is mybest bet as a vegetarian butsometimes I just donrsquot want tocook I also donrsquot want some-thing so fancy I have to lookdecent and I donrsquot want to wa itfor my food I want somethingquick and easy something witha drive through Burger Kinghas its veggie burger and Chick-Fil-A has its wraps but thereare so many other restaurantsthat could have more

For example McDonaldrsquosis not ideal for a vegetariantheyrsquove got fries a salad andsome breakfast items but noveggie burger In other coun-tries theyrsquove customized speci1047297cbrands to the countriesrsquo tastesIn India McDonaldrsquos has ma-

sala patties and plenty of other

vegetarian options Irsquom notasking for a masala pattie butit would be nice to have a de-cent black bean burger I wantto be able to say Irsquove eaten a

Big Mac Sure it would be vege-tarian but it justseems like one ofthose formativeexperiences

Ask any veg-etarian they willtell you that op-tions have signif-icantly improvedover the last de-cade and there

are some pretty delicious meatsubstitute products out there

Food has always been alarge part of my life and thereis very little I love more thansharing a meal with the peopleI care about Irsquod like to be ableto do that without restraintI donrsquot want to have to go toMcDonaldrsquos and have a po-tato party by myself whileeveryone else is digging into theirburgers or go to Chick-Fil-Aand eat a cold wrap while people

are eating warm chicken sand- wiches I want to be able to eatsomething substantial and sat-isfying without having to crossmy 1047297ngers and hope that thefast food restaurant wersquore go-ing to has more than saladfor vegetarians

So why is it that there arestill so few fast food chains

with decent vegetarian optionsI get that the eating options inan area are in1047298uenced by anarearsquos culture and I also under-stand that accommodate thatculture isnrsquot the easiest thingBut I also see that the demograph-ic of these areas are changing Asa result I think that businessesincluding restaurants shouldre1047298ect the wants and needs of

their consumers

Fast foods should catermore to vegetarians

are off ering more

It is the beginning of the endfor expensive cable and satelliteservices It seems like more ofthe younger generation is decid-ing to ldquocut the cordrdquo choosingto stream all of their entertain-ment instead of paying out thenose for a TV service As soonas I graduate and am living onmy own I will probably do thesame Content providers need torecognize this trend and maketheir shows and movies moreeasily available online

Te main problem with cableand satellite services is that mostcustomers end up paying for waymore content than what theyactually want Te customershave to buy channels in pack-ages at a high price but usuallyleave most of those channels un- watched On top of that theyhave to sit through commercialbreaks that seem to be longerand occur more frequently thanever before Contrast that expe-rience with watching a show onNet1047298ix or even Hulu Net1047298ixhas no commercials at all whileHulursquos breaks are de1047297nitely

shorter than the ones on TVPlus both services off er instantstreaming of a wide assortment

of content and have a better se-lection than what any cable orsatellite on-demand service canoff er

Services such as Sling TV areattempting to solve the problemof paying for unwanted contentby off ering their channels ldquoa lacarterdquo Consumers can pay formuch more specialized chan-nel packages at a much lowerprice than other providers andbe able to stream their contentacross multiple types of devices While this i s a step in the rightdirection it is still not as ben-e1047297cial to the consumer as beingable to choose individual chan-

nels or even stream individualprograms at an even lower cost At this point the only use

I have for a cable service is for watching live sports As a bigcollege football and hockey fanif I were to ditch cable I wouldnot be able to watch the vast ma-

jority of the games I want to seeVirtually every NHL game is oncable and only a small percent-age of college football games arebroadcast over the air

However I predict that thissituation will not persist formuch longer Sports leagues areslowly realizing the potentialand consumerrsquos preference instreaming content Hopefullythey will make more of theirgames available online and

customers can receive the sameviewing experience throughtheir internet connection that

they have known for yearsthrough their TV at a fractionof the cost (or even for free)

Related to the sports issuethe current system of contentdelivery for the professionalleagues is outdated and unfairSpeci1047297cally the limitations on

watching out of market gamesare arbitrary and detrimentalto the fans As an example Iam from Boston and a fan ofall their teams but I obviouslylive in Atlanta for school NFLgames are broadcast over the airfor free but each game is onlyavailable in certain markets IfI want to watch my Patriots onSunday afternoons the NFLdemands that I sign up for Di-recTV so that I can use theirexpensive NFL Sunday Ticketservice Instead of watching forfree I would have to pay $240($15 per game) to see my teamsimply because I live in a diff er-ent area of the country In anage where streaming services areat an all-time high these archa-ic policies simply do not makesense Hopefully in the near

future we will see more contentcreators make their works moreeasily accessible to everyone

Old cable needs to get with the timesldquo more of the younger

generation is deciding to

lsquocut the cordrsquo choosing

to stream all of their

After nine long months myNew Yearrsquos resolution is still ontrack to be complete come Janu-ary Rather than promise to lose20 pounds gain 20 pounds or1047297nally read a book I decided onsomething that was actually at-tainable to try one new thingevery month Since making thatdecision I have become an avidkickboxer an unsuccessful blog-ger and a lover of the spicy chickensandwich Last month however Iraised the stakes to a new high I

went on my 1047297rst Tinder dateTe preparation for this task

was a feat in and of itself I had totake pictures with my dog comeup with a clever bio and carry outthe long and shallow process ofswiping After three arduous daysof questioning my motherrsquos assess-ment of my devilishly good looksand boyish charm the matchesslowly started coming in

All of the girls I met on Tinder

were perfectly normalT

ere weresporty blondes bookish brunettesand everything in between Some-

where in that spectrum thoughthere was Emily (whose name hasbeen changed in order to protecther identity)

Emily like many of my match-es 1047297t all of my requirements she

was a human female She was alsocute and she laughed at my jokesI thought I had found exactly

what I was look ing for I set up adate put on some real clothes andheaded into what proved to be oneof the most interesting afternoonsof my lifeTe beginning of the date was

exactly as I had expected it to beSiblings majors and television

were discussed and my mind was

able to paint a general picture of

this girl that was a stranger twohours prior It wasnrsquot until anoff hand remark about her namehowever that things took an in-teresting turn

One simple request ldquoDonrsquotGoogle my namerdquo sent my imagi-nation into overdrive Was I shar-ing a delicious pizza with a crimi-nal A low-key Olympic athlete

A closet porn star perhaps Mycuriosity overcame my obedienceand during a short trip to the

bathroom the least exciting of mythree possibilities was con1047297rmedStaring back from my phonescreen was Emily wearing an or-ange jumpsuit and an acrid scowl

She was very nice and we werehaving a great time so I felt noneed to press her for detai ls on hercriminal past Soon enough how-ever she sated my burning curios-ity and brought up the details ofher arrest I acted surprised whenshe told me she had been arrestedbut the look on my face when Iheard she was a drug dealer wasone of genuine shock

She had a Chaco tan was ob-sessed with ldquoTe Bachelorrdquo and

was studying mechanical engi-neering Needless to say she abso-lutely de1047297ed my schema of a drug

In the backdrop of a techni-cal university Tech is a campusrich in its world views thanks toits mix of cultures and religionsfrom around the world Many ofthe students here at Tech are ableto engage with those of similarbeliefs religious or otherwisethanks to the plethora of faith-based organizations Tis createsan opportunity for interfaith dia-logue mdash an opportunity beingused by students and sta ff fromvarious walks of Tech life Teseindividualsrsquo eff orts have led to thecreation of panels classes and sur-veys to help create an environmentbased on cooperation and under-standing at Tech

Many students have gottenactively involved in stimulatinginterfaith discussion on campusldquoI would say that Georgia Techis pretty comfortable with di-versityrdquo said Sophia Rashid arecent Tech graduate with a de-gree in International A ff airs ldquoAtthe same time I feel like we donrsquot

necessarily engage that diver-sity because we sort of take it forgranted I think that we see eachother a lot but we donrsquot necessar-ily know each otherrdquo

Earlier this year Sophia along with four other Tech studentsattended the Interfaith Leader-ship Institute (ILI) a programintended to equip students to

work with diverse religious andnon-religious identities on their

own campuses Tose same 1047297veattendees came back to Tech andorganized Better Together Day

where about forty students andsta ff came to listen and speak onfaith and belief Sophia explainedthat shersquod advise everyone to en-gage with those of other faiths

ldquoDonrsquot be afraid to share whoyou are and to seek to connect

with people on a deep level Itrsquos

stunning how much people whoare diff erent can really strengtheneach other and inspire each otherand do good togetherrdquo SophiasaidTe ILI is an event organized

by the Interfaith Youth Core whose goal is according to So-phia to bring students together toldquobe visionary about how we can bemore proactive about building re-

lationships across the communityand identifying things that matterto all of us that we can work to-gether to have an impact onrdquo

One of those common pointsis the necessity of helping othersldquoItrsquos something that pervades allthe faith backgrounds that wersquovelooked intordquo said Elizabeth Balgaone of Georgia Techrsquos delegates tothe ILI and director of MOVE

Techrsquos volunteer organizationShe explained that she 1047297nds thiscommon point inspiring sinceinterfaith community service issomething shersquos very interestedin bringing about ldquoTatlsquos what I

would want to see people havingdialogue and then acting on thedialogue and using it as a platformto do good for both our campusand Atlantardquo Elizabeth said

Tese opportunities for dis-course arenrsquot just being organizedby the students however A newcourse IAC 3803 will be off eredin the spring that will treat the in-teraction of diff erent worldviewsldquoI began to become aware of adesire on the part of students tohave a venue where they can talkabout the relationships betweenscience and engineering and reli-gion particularly in the contextof interfaith activitiesrdquo explainedDr John Cressler the electricalengineering professor organizingthe course Cressler came to thetopic of interfaith dialogue dur-ing his research for his historical1047297ction novels which are set inmedieval Spain during a period

of coexistence of Islamic Jewishand Christian communities Tecourse will be small and heavilydiscussion based with a large em-phasis on ethical implications thatadvances in science and engineer-ing bring to the world and howdiff erent world views might deal

Te art of waking up early $amp$ (amp$)

$amp($amp) +amp$

Are you waking up every morn-ing enumerating all the expletivesin the English language Do youleave breakfast wishing that yourcup could hold more coff ee Doyou even eat breakfast at all Forall the inconveniences that anearly morning lecture brings itis a necessary evil for those of us

who seriously messed up our reg-istration Luckily not all is lostHere are a number of things thatyou can do to make your 8 amlecture not just bearable but en-

joyable As Ben Franklin once said

ldquoEarly to bed and early to risemakes a man healthy wealthy and

wiserdquo Going to bed early must beone of the most underrated evenridiculed ideas on any collegecampus However the bene1047297tsof sleeping early are indisputableStudies have shown that people

who go to sleep earlier are lesslikely to become obese and havebetter heart health Te 1047297rst stepto preparing for an early morn-

ing is sleeping earlier and why wouldnrsquot you if it could improveyour physical health

Secondly it is very importantto use an alarm correctly Te 1047297rstrule to using an alarm is that ifyou snooze you lose Hitting thesnooze button is never a good ideabecause falling asleep after yoursquovealready been woken up is detri-mental to your bodyrsquos circadianrhythms Plus it is important to

get used to waking up with con-viction if you are going to have todo it for the entire semester

Next make sure you allowyourself adequate time to showerget dressed and grab breakfastTere is no point in making it to

lecture on time if yoursquore starvingand you smell like a zoo Finallyhere comes the fun part choos-ing the jams that you wake up toPersonally I chose the most god-awful song I could possibly 1047297ndon my iPhone so that Irsquod have nochoice but to get out of bed andshut the darn thing up A songthat you like works just as well sothat your alarm isnrsquot too jolting inthe morning

Te 1047297nal step to waking upearly is to 1047297nd a reason why youdo it Some of us signed up forthe 8 am lecture because of theprofessor we really wanted Try to1047297nd something positive that re-sults from waking up Maybe you

have more free time in the after-noon Perhaps you get to see thesun rise or feel the frosty air that

will be long gone when all yourfriends emerge from their dorms

Whatever it is waking up forthat 8 am class shou ld be a bless-ing not a curse If you stick close-ly to the tips above and followyour routine consistently yoursquollbe strolling into 1047297rst period witha giant smile in no time

that the course will be structuredaround diversity and re1047298ectionand would not be a space for pros-elytizing ldquoTe invitation for stu-dents is that they will get to knowtheir worldview much betterrdquoCressler said Cressler will per-sonally handle applications thatinterested students can request byemail

Supporting this initiative isthe IDEALS survey which waslaunched this year and was sentout to all 1047297rst year students Tesurvey intends to gather informa-tion about belief and attitude to-

ward religion among the studentbody Te aim is to 1047297nd out whatmight be done to improve the cli-

mate of interfaith dialogue ldquoItrsquosabout creating safe spaces for it tohappen and part of it is knowing

where our student body stands which is what this survey let usknowrdquo explained Dr GeromeStephens Director for the Of-1047297ce of Leadership and Civic En-gagement Follow up surveys willcome in the future to assess howattitudes change during onersquos timeat Tech

With so much going on aroundcampus therersquos a lot for studentsto get involved in Tose inter-ested can contact Dean StephanieRay who is the Director of Diver-sity Programs or Sarah Perkins ofthe Office of Leadership and CivicManagement for more informa-tion

In March of this year ChefGuy Wong the restaurateur whodelivered Atlanta Asian fusion joints Miso Izakaya and YumBunz launched his third attemptat a hit restaurant Le Fat nestledamong countless other Westside restaurants and retail stores off ers Atlantans modestly priced Viet-namese food that is simple and well-executed

Just southwest of campus on

Marietta Street it is a manageable walk or a short Uber ride awayParking is available by valet or wherever possible as t here tend tobe open spots in the small lot be-hind Octane the coff ee shop

In the Great Gatsby F ScottFitzgerald remarks ldquoI like largeparties Teyrsquore so intimate Atsmall parties there isnrsquot any pri-vacyrdquo

Le Fat absolutely supports thisopinion the restaurant and all its

customers are captivated by a mu-tual energy Tere is nothing as-tonishing about the decor whichcould be improved but the smalldining room and closely arrangedtables bring another type of dy-namic mdash sound

Customers feel strangely com-fortable and happy with their fel-low restaurant-goers surroundingthem and laughing in an escapistmanner Loud restaurants can beirritating at times but its volumegives Le Fat a positive characteris-tic that makes the customersrsquo ex-perience much more fun

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

As an example of the serversrsquogood will Matthew a waiter lastSaturday walked through the

menu with a pescatarian custom-er outlining safe dishes and thosethat the cooks could modify with-out hesitation Te general hustleand bustle of the service sta ff givesthe dining room a busy vibe add-ing to the crazy high-tempo am-biance

Te ultimate objective of a res-taurant though is to serve superbfood and Le Fat does not let cus-tomers down by any means Tostart the bowl of phở broth at

only $3 is extremely a ff ordableand was smooth reserved anddelicious even without all the ricenoodles meat and herbs in a typi-cal bowl of phở

Te soft-shell BLT bun appe-tizer was n icely fried but proved tobe a bit overpowering when com-pared to the other delicate 1047298avorsof the steamed bun and the other1047297llers Te serverrsquos recommen-dation was the crowning jewel

though As an entree the clay potchicken achieves astounding lev-els of excellence

Te pot is brought to the tableand the server places it to lift thelid and overwhelm the guest withan immaculate fragrance Filled tothe brim with perfectly seasonedbeautifully cooked bite-sizedmorsels of chicken accompaniedby sauteacuteed onions peppers and aside of rice this dishrsquos simplicity

is what propels it to the next level Atlanta as a food Mecca

proves to be ever-expanding pro-viding new venue options everyyear (watch for the Ponce CityMarket food court openings)Tis year with Le Fat Guy Wongshows both his ability as a high-grade restaurateur and his culi-nary prowess as a chef a worthytrip for a magnetic atmosphereand fantastic food

teresting about this art showmdash and what added to the liveli-ness mdash was the variety of artisticmediums presented Lining the walls were displays of paintingsphotography digital art wood- working and jewelry On stageTe DC Gentlemen OLU andCDupe performed musical actsranging from hip hop to soul In

the open space various artists dis-played their works

To someone unfamiliar withart shows this event could havebeen overwhelming but to those

with more experience it presenteda lively interpretation of a typicalexhibition

ldquoEclectic Pompom is inspiredby the blending of modern andeclectic art Tis collection com-bines the styles of the women ofthe Hmong community and theHindu spirituality so they work inharmonyrdquo Sanahuja said

Another artist present was Da-vid Phillips owner of Wabstractan abstract wood art companybased in Athens Georgia He cre-ates modern looks using diff er-

ent colored wood panels Phillipsdescribed RAW as ldquoin tune with what the people want Whetherit be following a trend or goingagainst the grain there is some-thing here for everyonerdquo

ldquoI did not think I was going torun in college at allrdquo Keady saidldquoI wasnrsquot that good in high schoolBut Coach Drosky came up to meafter the race and I had no ideahe was there and he invited me tothe team It was a very rewardingexperiencerdquo

Like most cross country run-ners Keady is also a member ofboth the indoor and outdoor trackteams but she considers crosscountry to be her favorite of thethree sports She is a highly mo-tivated runner and has been in-spired to run by her mother sincethe beginning

ldquoI ran my 1047297rst 5K race with mymom when I was sevenrdquo Keadysaid ldquoShe has always been a bigpart of my life and we always rantogether when I was youngerrdquo

If there is one aspect that Ke-ady would like the student bodyto know about her team it is theamount of eff ort that they putinto practice

ldquoCross country is de1047297nitely notvery glamorous Itrsquos not football

or anythingrdquo Keady said ldquoBut we work very hard Wersquore up at 5 amTuesdays and Fridays and still goto a full day of classes We run anaverage of over 10 miles per day

Te Tech volleyball teamcoming off a 13-18 eff ort last sea-son has better intentions for theirsecond season under head coachMichelle Collier A Brazil nativeCoach Collier came to Tech lastseason after she took an impres-sive Jacksonville University Dol-phinrsquos team to the NCAA Tour-nament In her 1047297rst year as coachfor the Jackets the team showedimprovements from the previousseason in every statistical categoryand they to do the same this year

As the clock struck noon onFriday Aug 28 Yellow Jacketfans swarmed into the OrsquoKeefeGymnasium to cheer on the vol-leyball team in their season open-er against the Siena Bulldogs

Tis was the teamrsquos 1047297rst matchin the two-day four-match invita-tional known as the Georgia TechCourtyard by Marriott AtlantaMidtown Invitational and the

Jackets were out for a victory Ledby off ense from juniors TeeganVan Gunst and Lauren Pitz who

both had 9 kills the team played with u nity and ferocity sweepingthe Bulldogs in three sets 25-1425-17 and 25-17

Later that day the Jackets weremet with a challenge they couldnot surmount In a match that

went into the 1047297fth set Tech wasupended by the Coastal CarolinaChanticleers Te Jackets won the1047297rst set 25-17 and appeared to beon their way to another victory

however in the second and thirdframes Tech looked unwontedstruggling to 1047297nd its rhythmTech narrowly evaded defeat inthe fourth leg of the match es-caping with a 25-23 win but in a1047297fteen-point 1047297fth set the Chanti-cleers caught 1047297re winning the set15-9 and the match 3-2

A 1047297ve-set match would nothave been possible were it notfor the performances of the VanGunst twins juniors Teeganand Annika who both had hugematches

ldquoWe feed off each otherrsquos ener-gyrdquo T Van Gunst said ldquoWe pickeach other up when wersquore downand celebrate together in the goodmomentsrdquo

To this response the stats serveas evidence Annika had 13 killsand 13 digs while Teegan amassed22 kills and 13 digs Tough los-ing is never easy the Jackets werenot enervated by the defeat

ldquoWe just have to get past thisone and move on to the next twothis weekendrdquo T Van Gunst sa id

And move on they did Inthe two Saturday matches Tech

played with a vendetta embar-rassing their two opponents by apoint total of 150-80

In their noon contest againstUT-Martin the Jackets exercisedmore precision and volition thanthey did in their match versusCoastal Carolina limiting them-selves to only eleven errors Enroute to thumping the Skyhawks

junior London Ackerman pro-vided 1047297ve aces while sophomore

Sydney Wilson was mimicked by Annika as they contributed 11kills apiece

If hunger for redemption wasthe motivation for the UT-Martinmatch it was the status quo forthe Citadel match as Tech playedevery point with an edge Junior

Ashley Askinrsquos performance wasparticularly compelling as sheracked up 11 kills and 10 digs

throughout the match Sweep-ing the Bulldogs to wrap up theinvitational the Jackets now 1047297ndthemselves with a 3-1 record andan entire season ahead of them-selves Moving forward the Jack-ets look to do as all great teamshave done and turn this earlyseason momentum into a year in

which the Tech volleyball team will be remembered

Techrsquos Center for the Develop-ment and Application of Internetof Tings Technologies (CDAIT)aims to play a large and importantrole in developing the technologyneeded to make communicationbetween diff erent electronics eas-ier according to Dr Alain Lou-chez the Managing Director ofCDAIT

Recently Airwatch ATampTand Samsung Electronics whichare all internationally operatingcompanies have made invest-ments in CDAIT According toLouchez this is a result of eachcompanyrsquos desire to get involved

with the research occurring atTech

According to Louchez the ap-plications of CDAIT may involvea normal household product suchas a washing machine Hypotheti-cally the washing machine wouldcome equipped with sensors that

will notify the supplier that one ofits parts is about to break Tenthe consumer would have the op-

tion to request that someone besent to preemptively 1047297x the partLouchez addressed some of the

current obstacles preventing someof CDAITrsquos technology from be-ing implemented Tere are anumber policy boundaries andon July 29 a debate in the UnitedStates House of Representativestook place dealing with privacyand regulatory concerns related toInternet of Tings technology

A technological barrier thatCDAIT is working to overcomeis how to power these sensorsSensors some of which must beplugged into the wall or support-ed by a battery are ultimately im-

practical in this many situationsso methods for harvesting energythat already exists in the immedi-ate surroundings of the relevantdevice are being explored accord-ing to Louchez An example ofthis in action would be utilizingthe vibrations of a bridge as carsdrive over it in order to power adevice

According to Louchez creat-ing a successful Internet ofTingsinvolves a complex value chain

with links that go from the sen-sors and actuators that capturedata to how that information iseventually extracted At Techsuch collaboration is currently

occurring between a number ofexperts from all diff erent partsof the chains creating a uniquelyproductive experience

According to Louchez engi-neers will be able to collaborate

with experts on policy throughutilization of CDAIT and its ca-pability to bring expertise in dif-ferent areas together

In some situations where ex-pert collaborations are necessaryCDAIT will endeavor to facilitatesuch work from the beginningrather than forcing the partiesto attempt to mesh their respec-tive work together later down theroad

CDAIT opens new doors

From Sep 2-4 Techrsquos Officeof Government and CommunityRelations hosted a group of 25congressional sta ff ers from vari-ous districts around GeorgiaTe sta ff ers participated in var-

ious talks and presentations in-cluding a speech by current TechPresident GP ldquoBudrdquo Petersonregarding Tech and its impact onboth the state and national levels

As part of thi s two-day programthe congressmen attended a Stu-dent Entrepreneurship Panel

hosted by three current Tech stu-dents as well as by Dr Craig For-est an Associate BioengineeringProfessor

During the one-hour panelthe congressional sta ff ers listenedas the three students all partici-pants in an InVenture Prize (IP)competition at some point in theirTech careers told the stories ofhow they innovated worked hardand ultimately created award-

winning inventions Ten thesta ff ers conducted a question andanswer session with the panelists

within which they were able to askthe students and professor aboutanything related to the InVenturePrize and their entrepreneurial

workStudent panelist Rachel Ford

discussed the relationship be-

tween Tech and the IP created bystudents

ldquoWhatrsquos really amazing is thatGeorgia Tech helps you as if itrsquos(referring to the studentrsquos IP) isyour ownrdquo said Ford ldquoAs soonas the InVenture Prize is over somany professors would help ushellipand they werenrsquot getting paid ex-tra to do it and it really shows thestrength of the community here atTechrdquo

ldquoOne of the misnomers here isthat Georgia Tech is getting richof all this great IP hellip when youbalance the books at the end ofyear we are making no moneyrdquo

Forest said ldquoAs a public universi-ty its part of our mission to get allthese great ideas off the bookshelfand out thererdquoTe sta ff ers also seemed cu-

rious regarding the presence of women in the science technol-ogy engineering and mathemat-ics (STEM) disciplines as well asentrepreneurial communities and

what Tech was doing to furthertheir involvement

ldquoWhen I started here there were maybe a few girls in my engi-neering classesrdquo said Ford ldquoIf youlook at the InVenture Prize con-testants over the past few yearsthere are more and more girls tak-ing part which is very exciting hellipIrsquove never been treated with disre-spect If anything all Irsquove gotten

is encouragement and advice from

all my male peersrdquoMegan Fetcher another stu-

dent panelist also commented onthe topics of discussion

ldquoIrsquom a tour guide and Irsquom see-ing more and more girls in mygroups and itrsquos very exciting to seethat Georgia Tech is spearheadingthis developmentrdquo Fetcher said

Finally when asked about how

the InVenture Prize process hada ff ected their future goals and

whether they now planned oncontinuing work in their individ-ual ventures the three panelistsdescribed diff ering future plans

Yet all of the panelists present atthe event pointed to their indi-vidual entrepreneurial experiencethat the competition a ff orded

them as having had a major im-pact on their personal and profes-sional development

ldquoGoing through all of thisI would say that the experiencehelps in both personal entrepre-neurship as well as innovation

within a companyrdquo Ford said ldquoSo with that if I have a g reat idea I would love to go out and do itrdquo

Te National Science Founda-tion will fund a $12 million net- work of universities and instituteslooking to design more sustain-able cities with Tech as an anchorinstitutionTe project officially titled

ldquoIntegrated Urban InfrastructureSolutions for EnvironmentallySustainable Healthy and Liv-able Citiesrdquo aims to test and re-1047297ne strategies to make cities moreeco-friendly and desirable to livein Nine universities includingTech University of Minnesotaand Columbia University will work with policy ana lysts and in-dustry partners over the course ofthe next four years to implementnew infrastructure in ldquotest citiesrdquothroughout the United States andIndia Te candidates for thosetest cities include New York De-troit and Atlanta

Tech will play a critical role in

this Sustainability Research Net- work (SRN) According to Ar-mistead Russell Regents Professorof Environmental Engineering atTech and Co-Principal Investiga-tor with the sustainable cities proj-ect there are three primary rolesTech will play in the network

ldquoFirst we bring unique re-search capabilities to the networkinvestigatorsrdquo Russell said ldquoInparticular we are actively engagedin research directly related tohealth be it the linkage betweenair pollution and health com-munity involvement and the con-structed environment and healthor climate extremes [such as]drought and 1047298ooding risksrdquo

Secondarily Tech will be lead-ing the educational component of

the program with Nisha Botchw-

ey Associate Professor of City andRegional Planning at the helmIn addition to hosting training workshops and summer schoolsessions Tech will begin off eringa new interdisciplinary graduatecerti1047297cation in ldquoIntegrated Infra-structure Solutions for Sustain-able Healthy and Livable Citiesrdquoand will also be conducting out-reach eff orts with the K-12 com-munity in AtlantaTirdly Tech personnel are

playing key roles in the networkrsquosleadership cohort In additionto Russell and Botchwey DrMarion Usselman Associate Di-rector of Federal Outreach andResearch will be working withTechrsquos Center for Education In-tegrating Science Mathematicsamp Computing (or CEISMC) oncreating and implementing K-12lesson plans on sustainability andeco-friendliness

My roommates blast a lot ofbubblegum pop in our apart-ment the kind of vapid auto-tune that shrivels hipstersrsquo earsand makes the geriatrics sayldquoWhy do kidslisten to that gar-bagerdquo

Tere aresongs we haveplayed so of-

ten the lyricsare etched intoour walls Halfof these songs Ilike and will singalong to occa-sionally in keyTe other half confuse me

A recurring pattern exists when it comes to music and ag-ing around age thirteen peopletend to start out with basic Top40 hits and then in their lateteens and twenties they branchout into other genres Musicaltastes peak in the late twentiesand stagnate just afterwardsmdash according to Spotify userscease adding new artists to theirlistening patterns around age33 After age 33 Top 40 hits

become a foreign language onlythe youngsters speakI am already at the point

where I do not recognize halfof what sits on the charts but Ihave 1047297nally gotten to where it nolonger bothers me Like every-one who goes to college I haveless and less in common withmy high school self each day in-cluding the fact that I no longerfake having a good taste in mu-sic In high school staying cur-rent in music whether with TopHits or underground artists soindie you could make up a bandname was almost a requirementif you wanted to function so-cially I pretended to like bands whose names sounded like ran-dom word assortments read off

of Scrabble and pop artists who

replaced a letter of their name with some kind of punctuationmark In college nobody caresMusic has diverged so thor-oughly that only listening to

one genre is likeonly reading onepage of a bookOne of the bestparts about col-lege is that you

are introducedto so many newpeople who willintroduce you tonew artists andsongs you prob-ably would not

have stumbled upon otherwise You can switch on WREK radioor pop over to Under the Couchto hear something diff erent Youcan stumble through music fes-tivals or be a face in the crowdat the Homecoming concertStreaming sites pair you up with genres like an audio speeddating service and before youknow it your iTunes library hastripled in size Spotify even hasDiscover Weekly where theirservice will compare songs you

like and create a new playlist foryou every week You can evenmingle with local artists on At-lantarsquos underground music sceneand connect with college-ageartists and smaller bands Tereis no point in holding onto onegenre or falling into a concretehabit Tere is no need to feelproud that you are the only per-son on the planet who listens toa certain indie band and there isno reason to fake a good taste inmusic because it no longer mat-ters who you listen to

So when my roommatesblast something catchy andautotuned and I have no idea what the song is or who it isby I sit back and listen andam thankful that I have years

Being a vegetarian isnrsquot reallythat hard nowadays I remember

when I was younger my familyand I would go on road tripsand wersquod stop in the middleof nowhere forfood and strug-gle to 1047297nd some-thing other thanfries and a salad

Now we just

stop at a TacoBell or SubwayI still rememberthe 1047297rst time I

walked into aTaco Bell and

was blown awayby the sheer number of op-tions I had replace anything

with beans Taco Bell was veg-etarian fast food paradise andquite frankly still is Irsquove no-ticed that a rising number ofnice restaurants are off eringmore vegetarian options be it agood veggie burger or just reallygood pasta but therersquos still a lagin the world of fast food

I bring up fast food becauseitrsquos the most convenient foodespecially for college students

See the thing is cooking is mybest bet as a vegetarian butsometimes I just donrsquot want tocook I also donrsquot want some-thing so fancy I have to lookdecent and I donrsquot want to wa itfor my food I want somethingquick and easy something witha drive through Burger Kinghas its veggie burger and Chick-Fil-A has its wraps but thereare so many other restaurantsthat could have more

For example McDonaldrsquosis not ideal for a vegetariantheyrsquove got fries a salad andsome breakfast items but noveggie burger In other coun-tries theyrsquove customized speci1047297cbrands to the countriesrsquo tastesIn India McDonaldrsquos has ma-

sala patties and plenty of other

vegetarian options Irsquom notasking for a masala pattie butit would be nice to have a de-cent black bean burger I wantto be able to say Irsquove eaten a

Big Mac Sure it would be vege-tarian but it justseems like one ofthose formativeexperiences

Ask any veg-etarian they willtell you that op-tions have signif-icantly improvedover the last de-cade and there

are some pretty delicious meatsubstitute products out there

Food has always been alarge part of my life and thereis very little I love more thansharing a meal with the peopleI care about Irsquod like to be ableto do that without restraintI donrsquot want to have to go toMcDonaldrsquos and have a po-tato party by myself whileeveryone else is digging into theirburgers or go to Chick-Fil-Aand eat a cold wrap while people

are eating warm chicken sand- wiches I want to be able to eatsomething substantial and sat-isfying without having to crossmy 1047297ngers and hope that thefast food restaurant wersquore go-ing to has more than saladfor vegetarians

So why is it that there arestill so few fast food chains

with decent vegetarian optionsI get that the eating options inan area are in1047298uenced by anarearsquos culture and I also under-stand that accommodate thatculture isnrsquot the easiest thingBut I also see that the demograph-ic of these areas are changing Asa result I think that businessesincluding restaurants shouldre1047298ect the wants and needs of

their consumers

Fast foods should catermore to vegetarians

are off ering more

It is the beginning of the endfor expensive cable and satelliteservices It seems like more ofthe younger generation is decid-ing to ldquocut the cordrdquo choosingto stream all of their entertain-ment instead of paying out thenose for a TV service As soonas I graduate and am living onmy own I will probably do thesame Content providers need torecognize this trend and maketheir shows and movies moreeasily available online

Te main problem with cableand satellite services is that mostcustomers end up paying for waymore content than what theyactually want Te customershave to buy channels in pack-ages at a high price but usuallyleave most of those channels un- watched On top of that theyhave to sit through commercialbreaks that seem to be longerand occur more frequently thanever before Contrast that expe-rience with watching a show onNet1047298ix or even Hulu Net1047298ixhas no commercials at all whileHulursquos breaks are de1047297nitely

shorter than the ones on TVPlus both services off er instantstreaming of a wide assortment

of content and have a better se-lection than what any cable orsatellite on-demand service canoff er

Services such as Sling TV areattempting to solve the problemof paying for unwanted contentby off ering their channels ldquoa lacarterdquo Consumers can pay formuch more specialized chan-nel packages at a much lowerprice than other providers andbe able to stream their contentacross multiple types of devices While this i s a step in the rightdirection it is still not as ben-e1047297cial to the consumer as beingable to choose individual chan-

nels or even stream individualprograms at an even lower cost At this point the only use

I have for a cable service is for watching live sports As a bigcollege football and hockey fanif I were to ditch cable I wouldnot be able to watch the vast ma-

jority of the games I want to seeVirtually every NHL game is oncable and only a small percent-age of college football games arebroadcast over the air

However I predict that thissituation will not persist formuch longer Sports leagues areslowly realizing the potentialand consumerrsquos preference instreaming content Hopefullythey will make more of theirgames available online and

customers can receive the sameviewing experience throughtheir internet connection that

they have known for yearsthrough their TV at a fractionof the cost (or even for free)

Related to the sports issuethe current system of contentdelivery for the professionalleagues is outdated and unfairSpeci1047297cally the limitations on

watching out of market gamesare arbitrary and detrimentalto the fans As an example Iam from Boston and a fan ofall their teams but I obviouslylive in Atlanta for school NFLgames are broadcast over the airfor free but each game is onlyavailable in certain markets IfI want to watch my Patriots onSunday afternoons the NFLdemands that I sign up for Di-recTV so that I can use theirexpensive NFL Sunday Ticketservice Instead of watching forfree I would have to pay $240($15 per game) to see my teamsimply because I live in a diff er-ent area of the country In anage where streaming services areat an all-time high these archa-ic policies simply do not makesense Hopefully in the near

future we will see more contentcreators make their works moreeasily accessible to everyone

After nine long months myNew Yearrsquos resolution is still ontrack to be complete come Janu-ary Rather than promise to lose20 pounds gain 20 pounds or1047297nally read a book I decided onsomething that was actually at-tainable to try one new thingevery month Since making thatdecision I have become an avidkickboxer an unsuccessful blog-ger and a lover of the spicy chickensandwich Last month however Iraised the stakes to a new high I

went on my 1047297rst Tinder dateTe preparation for this task

was a feat in and of itself I had totake pictures with my dog comeup with a clever bio and carry outthe long and shallow process ofswiping After three arduous daysof questioning my motherrsquos assess-ment of my devilishly good looksand boyish charm the matchesslowly started coming in

All of the girls I met on Tinder

were perfectly normalT

ere weresporty blondes bookish brunettesand everything in between Some-

where in that spectrum thoughthere was Emily (whose name hasbeen changed in order to protecther identity)

Emily like many of my match-es 1047297t all of my requirements she

was a human female She was alsocute and she laughed at my jokesI thought I had found exactly

what I was look ing for I set up adate put on some real clothes andheaded into what proved to be oneof the most interesting afternoonsof my lifeTe beginning of the date was

exactly as I had expected it to beSiblings majors and television

were discussed and my mind was

able to paint a general picture of

this girl that was a stranger twohours prior It wasnrsquot until anoff hand remark about her namehowever that things took an in-teresting turn

One simple request ldquoDonrsquotGoogle my namerdquo sent my imagi-nation into overdrive Was I shar-ing a delicious pizza with a crimi-nal A low-key Olympic athlete

A closet porn star perhaps Mycuriosity overcame my obedienceand during a short trip to the

bathroom the least exciting of mythree possibilities was con1047297rmedStaring back from my phonescreen was Emily wearing an or-ange jumpsuit and an acrid scowl

She was very nice and we werehaving a great time so I felt noneed to press her for detai ls on hercriminal past Soon enough how-ever she sated my burning curios-ity and brought up the details ofher arrest I acted surprised whenshe told me she had been arrestedbut the look on my face when Iheard she was a drug dealer wasone of genuine shock

She had a Chaco tan was ob-sessed with ldquoTe Bachelorrdquo and

was studying mechanical engi-neering Needless to say she abso-lutely de1047297ed my schema of a drug

dealer Almost one month prior

to our date she was in handcuff s(not unlike the kind yoursquod usuallysee on a Tinder date) and in theback of a police car

But Emilyrsquos tale began monthsbefore that when life began serv-ing her a series of uncontrollablecircumstances She lost her moth-er was forced to forgo her collegeplans in order to stay local and

worked two jobs to support her-self Irsquom not condoning the sale ofdrugs but I believe she was justi-1047297

ed in feeling overwhelmed We 1047297nally 1047297nished our pizzaafter three hours of stories tearsand laughs and I drove homethoroughly satis1047297ed with my Tin-der experience Rather than lookat every criminal as the embodi-ment of their bad choices I nowunderstand that they could simplybe victims of circumstance

Most importantly I decidedthat everybody needs to go ona Tinder date before they die Itprovides you with the perspec-tive of a complete stranger andputs you in a situation that you

would otherwise never experi-ence Tere are certainly risks in-volved with Tinder but if you useit right you could be eating pizza

with a criminal and having the

time of your life

Swipe lef on judgements and

right on new perspectivesldquoEmily like many of my

matches fit all of my

requirements she was a

human femalerdquo

In the backdrop of a techni-cal university Tech is a campusrich in its world views thanks toits mix of cultures and religionsfrom around the world Many ofthe students here at Tech are ableto engage with those of similarbeliefs religious or otherwisethanks to the plethora of faith-based organizations Tis createsan opportunity for interfaith dia-logue mdash an opportunity beingused by students and sta ff fromvarious walks of Tech life Teseindividualsrsquo eff orts have led to thecreation of panels classes and sur-veys to help create an environmentbased on cooperation and under-standing at Tech

Many students have gottenactively involved in stimulatinginterfaith discussion on campusldquoI would say that Georgia Techis pretty comfortable with di-versityrdquo said Sophia Rashid arecent Tech graduate with a de-gree in International A ff airs ldquoAtthe same time I feel like we donrsquot

necessarily engage that diver-sity because we sort of take it forgranted I think that we see eachother a lot but we donrsquot necessar-ily know each otherrdquo

Earlier this year Sophia along with four other Tech studentsattended the Interfaith Leader-ship Institute (ILI) a programintended to equip students to

work with diverse religious andnon-religious identities on their

own campuses Tose same 1047297veattendees came back to Tech andorganized Better Together Day

where about forty students andsta ff came to listen and speak onfaith and belief Sophia explainedthat shersquod advise everyone to en-gage with those of other faiths

ldquoDonrsquot be afraid to share whoyou are and to seek to connect

with people on a deep level Itrsquos

stunning how much people whoare diff erent can really strengtheneach other and inspire each otherand do good togetherrdquo SophiasaidTe ILI is an event organized

by the Interfaith Youth Core whose goal is according to So-phia to bring students together toldquobe visionary about how we can bemore proactive about building re-

lationships across the communityand identifying things that matterto all of us that we can work to-gether to have an impact onrdquo

One of those common pointsis the necessity of helping othersldquoItrsquos something that pervades allthe faith backgrounds that wersquovelooked intordquo said Elizabeth Balgaone of Georgia Techrsquos delegates tothe ILI and director of MOVE

Techrsquos volunteer organizationShe explained that she 1047297nds thiscommon point inspiring sinceinterfaith community service issomething shersquos very interestedin bringing about ldquoTatlsquos what I

would want to see people havingdialogue and then acting on thedialogue and using it as a platformto do good for both our campusand Atlantardquo Elizabeth said

Tese opportunities for dis-course arenrsquot just being organizedby the students however A newcourse IAC 3803 will be off eredin the spring that will treat the in-teraction of diff erent worldviewsldquoI began to become aware of adesire on the part of students tohave a venue where they can talkabout the relationships betweenscience and engineering and reli-gion particularly in the contextof interfaith activitiesrdquo explainedDr John Cressler the electricalengineering professor organizingthe course Cressler came to thetopic of interfaith dialogue dur-ing his research for his historical1047297ction novels which are set inmedieval Spain during a period

of coexistence of Islamic Jewishand Christian communities Tecourse will be small and heavilydiscussion based with a large em-phasis on ethical implications thatadvances in science and engineer-ing bring to the world and howdiff erent world views might deal

with those implications Speci1047297cdetails are available on Cresslerrsquos

Te art of waking up early $amp$ (amp$)

$amp($amp) +amp$

Are you waking up every morn-ing enumerating all the expletivesin the English language Do youleave breakfast wishing that yourcup could hold more coff ee Doyou even eat breakfast at all Forall the inconveniences that anearly morning lecture brings itis a necessary evil for those of us

who seriously messed up our reg-istration Luckily not all is lostHere are a number of things thatyou can do to make your 8 amlecture not just bearable but en-

joyable As Ben Franklin once said

ldquoEarly to bed and early to risemakes a man healthy wealthy and

wiserdquo Going to bed early must beone of the most underrated evenridiculed ideas on any collegecampus However the bene1047297tsof sleeping early are indisputableStudies have shown that people

who go to sleep earlier are lesslikely to become obese and havebetter heart health Te 1047297rst stepto preparing for an early morn-

ing is sleeping earlier and why wouldnrsquot you if it could improveyour physical health

Secondly it is very importantto use an alarm correctly Te 1047297rstrule to using an alarm is that ifyou snooze you lose Hitting thesnooze button is never a good ideabecause falling asleep after yoursquovealready been woken up is detri-mental to your bodyrsquos circadianrhythms Plus it is important to

get used to waking up with con-viction if you are going to have todo it for the entire semester

Next make sure you allowyourself adequate time to showerget dressed and grab breakfastTere is no point in making it to

lecture on time if yoursquore starvingand you smell like a zoo Finallyhere comes the fun part choos-ing the jams that you wake up toPersonally I chose the most god-awful song I could possibly 1047297ndon my iPhone so that Irsquod have nochoice but to get out of bed andshut the darn thing up A songthat you like works just as well sothat your alarm isnrsquot too jolting inthe morning

Te 1047297nal step to waking upearly is to 1047297nd a reason why youdo it Some of us signed up forthe 8 am lecture because of theprofessor we really wanted Try to1047297nd something positive that re-sults from waking up Maybe you

have more free time in the after-noon Perhaps you get to see thesun rise or feel the frosty air that

will be long gone when all yourfriends emerge from their dorms

Whatever it is waking up forthat 8 am class shou ld be a bless-ing not a curse If you stick close-ly to the tips above and followyour routine consistently yoursquollbe strolling into 1047297rst period witha giant smile in no time

that the course will be structuredaround diversity and re1047298ectionand would not be a space for pros-elytizing ldquoTe invitation for stu-dents is that they will get to knowtheir worldview much betterrdquoCressler said Cressler will per-sonally handle applications thatinterested students can request byemail

Supporting this initiative isthe IDEALS survey which waslaunched this year and was sentout to all 1047297rst year students Tesurvey intends to gather informa-tion about belief and attitude to-

ward religion among the studentbody Te aim is to 1047297nd out whatmight be done to improve the cli-

mate of interfaith dialogue ldquoItrsquosabout creating safe spaces for it tohappen and part of it is knowing

where our student body stands which is what this survey let usknowrdquo explained Dr GeromeStephens Director for the Of-1047297ce of Leadership and Civic En-gagement Follow up surveys willcome in the future to assess howattitudes change during onersquos timeat Tech

With so much going on aroundcampus therersquos a lot for studentsto get involved in Tose inter-ested can contact Dean StephanieRay who is the Director of Diver-sity Programs or Sarah Perkins ofthe Office of Leadership and CivicManagement for more informa-tion

In March of this year ChefGuy Wong the restaurateur whodelivered Atlanta Asian fusion joints Miso Izakaya and YumBunz launched his third attemptat a hit restaurant Le Fat nestledamong countless other Westside restaurants and retail stores off ers Atlantans modestly priced Viet-namese food that is simple and well-executed

Just southwest of campus on

Marietta Street it is a manageable walk or a short Uber ride awayParking is available by valet or wherever possible as t here tend tobe open spots in the small lot be-hind Octane the coff ee shop

In the Great Gatsby F ScottFitzgerald remarks ldquoI like largeparties Teyrsquore so intimate Atsmall parties there isnrsquot any pri-vacyrdquo

Le Fat absolutely supports thisopinion the restaurant and all its

customers are captivated by a mu-tual energy Tere is nothing as-tonishing about the decor whichcould be improved but the smalldining room and closely arrangedtables bring another type of dy-namic mdash sound

Customers feel strangely com-fortable and happy with their fel-low restaurant-goers surroundingthem and laughing in an escapistmanner Loud restaurants can beirritating at times but its volumegives Le Fat a positive characteris-tic that makes the customersrsquo ex-perience much more fun

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

As an example of the serversrsquogood will Matthew a waiter lastSaturday walked through the

menu with a pescatarian custom-er outlining safe dishes and thosethat the cooks could modify with-out hesitation Te general hustleand bustle of the service sta ff givesthe dining room a busy vibe add-ing to the crazy high-tempo am-biance

Te ultimate objective of a res-taurant though is to serve superbfood and Le Fat does not let cus-tomers down by any means Tostart the bowl of phở broth at

only $3 is extremely a ff ordableand was smooth reserved anddelicious even without all the ricenoodles meat and herbs in a typi-cal bowl of phở

Te soft-shell BLT bun appe-tizer was n icely fried but proved tobe a bit overpowering when com-pared to the other delicate 1047298avorsof the steamed bun and the other1047297llers Te serverrsquos recommen-dation was the crowning jewel

though As an entree the clay potchicken achieves astounding lev-els of excellence

Te pot is brought to the tableand the server places it to lift thelid and overwhelm the guest withan immaculate fragrance Filled tothe brim with perfectly seasonedbeautifully cooked bite-sizedmorsels of chicken accompaniedby sauteacuteed onions peppers and aside of rice this dishrsquos simplicity

is what propels it to the next level Atlanta as a food Mecca

proves to be ever-expanding pro-viding new venue options everyyear (watch for the Ponce CityMarket food court openings)Tis year with Le Fat Guy Wongshows both his ability as a high-grade restaurateur and his culi-nary prowess as a chef a worthytrip for a magnetic atmosphereand fantastic food

Te Tech volleyball teamcoming off a 13-18 eff ort last sea-son has better intentions for theirsecond season under head coachMichelle Collier A Brazil nativeCoach Collier came to Tech lastseason after she took an impres-sive Jacksonville University Dol-phinrsquos team to the NCAA Tour-nament In her 1047297rst year as coachfor the Jackets the team showedimprovements from the previousseason in every statistical categoryand they to do the same this year

As the clock struck noon onFriday Aug 28 Yellow Jacketfans swarmed into the OrsquoKeefeGymnasium to cheer on the vol-leyball team in their season open-er against the Siena Bulldogs

Tis was the teamrsquos 1047297rst matchin the two-day four-match invita-tional known as the Georgia TechCourtyard by Marriott AtlantaMidtown Invitational and the

Jackets were out for a victory Ledby off ense from juniors TeeganVan Gunst and Lauren Pitz who

both had 9 kills the team played with u nity and ferocity sweepingthe Bulldogs in three sets 25-1425-17 and 25-17

Later that day the Jackets weremet with a challenge they couldnot surmount In a match that

went into the 1047297fth set Tech wasupended by the Coastal CarolinaChanticleers Te Jackets won the1047297rst set 25-17 and appeared to beon their way to another victory

however in the second and thirdframes Tech looked unwontedstruggling to 1047297nd its rhythmTech narrowly evaded defeat inthe fourth leg of the match es-caping with a 25-23 win but in a1047297fteen-point 1047297fth set the Chanti-cleers caught 1047297re winning the set15-9 and the match 3-2

A 1047297ve-set match would nothave been possible were it notfor the performances of the VanGunst twins juniors Teeganand Annika who both had hugematches

ldquoWe feed off each otherrsquos ener-gyrdquo T Van Gunst said ldquoWe pickeach other up when wersquore downand celebrate together in the goodmomentsrdquo

To this response the stats serveas evidence Annika had 13 killsand 13 digs while Teegan amassed22 kills and 13 digs Tough los-ing is never easy the Jackets werenot enervated by the defeat

ldquoWe just have to get past thisone and move on to the next twothis weekendrdquo T Van Gunst sa id

And move on they did Inthe two Saturday matches Tech

played with a vendetta embar-rassing their two opponents by apoint total of 150-80

In their noon contest againstUT-Martin the Jackets exercisedmore precision and volition thanthey did in their match versusCoastal Carolina limiting them-selves to only eleven errors Enroute to thumping the Skyhawks

junior London Ackerman pro-vided 1047297ve aces while sophomore

Sydney Wilson was mimicked by Annika as they contributed 11kills apiece

If hunger for redemption wasthe motivation for the UT-Martinmatch it was the status quo forthe Citadel match as Tech playedevery point with an edge Junior

Ashley Askinrsquos performance wasparticularly compelling as sheracked up 11 kills and 10 digs

throughout the match Sweep-ing the Bulldogs to wrap up theinvitational the Jackets now 1047297ndthemselves with a 3-1 record andan entire season ahead of them-selves Moving forward the Jack-ets look to do as all great teamshave done and turn this earlyseason momentum into a year in

which the Tech volleyball team will be remembered

My roommates blast a lot ofbubblegum pop in our apart-ment the kind of vapid auto-tune that shrivels hipstersrsquo earsand makes the geriatrics sayldquoWhy do kidslisten to that gar-bagerdquo

Tere aresongs we haveplayed so of-

ten the lyricsare etched intoour walls Halfof these songs Ilike and will singalong to occa-sionally in keyTe other half confuse me

A recurring pattern exists when it comes to music and ag-ing around age thirteen peopletend to start out with basic Top40 hits and then in their lateteens and twenties they branchout into other genres Musicaltastes peak in the late twentiesand stagnate just afterwardsmdash according to Spotify userscease adding new artists to theirlistening patterns around age33 After age 33 Top 40 hits

become a foreign language onlythe youngsters speakI am already at the point

where I do not recognize halfof what sits on the charts but Ihave 1047297nally gotten to where it nolonger bothers me Like every-one who goes to college I haveless and less in common withmy high school self each day in-cluding the fact that I no longerfake having a good taste in mu-sic In high school staying cur-rent in music whether with TopHits or underground artists soindie you could make up a bandname was almost a requirementif you wanted to function so-cially I pretended to like bands whose names sounded like ran-dom word assortments read off

of Scrabble and pop artists who

replaced a letter of their name with some kind of punctuationmark In college nobody caresMusic has diverged so thor-oughly that only listening to

one genre is likeonly reading onepage of a bookOne of the bestparts about col-lege is that you

are introducedto so many newpeople who willintroduce you tonew artists andsongs you prob-ably would not

have stumbled upon otherwise You can switch on WREK radioor pop over to Under the Couchto hear something diff erent Youcan stumble through music fes-tivals or be a face in the crowdat the Homecoming concertStreaming sites pair you up with genres like an audio speeddating service and before youknow it your iTunes library hastripled in size Spotify even hasDiscover Weekly where theirservice will compare songs you

like and create a new playlist foryou every week You can evenmingle with local artists on At-lantarsquos underground music sceneand connect with college-ageartists and smaller bands Tereis no point in holding onto onegenre or falling into a concretehabit Tere is no need to feelproud that you are the only per-son on the planet who listens toa certain indie band and there isno reason to fake a good taste inmusic because it no longer mat-ters who you listen to

So when my roommatesblast something catchy andautotuned and I have no idea what the song is or who it isby I sit back and listen andam thankful that I have years

Being a vegetarian isnrsquot reallythat hard nowadays I remember

when I was younger my familyand I would go on road tripsand wersquod stop in the middleof nowhere forfood and strug-gle to 1047297nd some-thing other thanfries and a salad

Now we just

stop at a TacoBell or SubwayI still rememberthe 1047297rst time I

walked into aTaco Bell and

was blown awayby the sheer number of op-tions I had replace anything

with beans Taco Bell was veg-etarian fast food paradise andquite frankly still is Irsquove no-ticed that a rising number ofnice restaurants are off eringmore vegetarian options be it agood veggie burger or just reallygood pasta but therersquos still a lagin the world of fast food

I bring up fast food becauseitrsquos the most convenient foodespecially for college students

See the thing is cooking is mybest bet as a vegetarian butsometimes I just donrsquot want tocook I also donrsquot want some-thing so fancy I have to lookdecent and I donrsquot want to wa itfor my food I want somethingquick and easy something witha drive through Burger Kinghas its veggie burger and Chick-Fil-A has its wraps but thereare so many other restaurantsthat could have more

For example McDonaldrsquosis not ideal for a vegetariantheyrsquove got fries a salad andsome breakfast items but noveggie burger In other coun-tries theyrsquove customized speci1047297cbrands to the countriesrsquo tastesIn India McDonaldrsquos has ma-

sala patties and plenty of other

vegetarian options Irsquom notasking for a masala pattie butit would be nice to have a de-cent black bean burger I wantto be able to say Irsquove eaten a

Big Mac Sure it would be vege-tarian but it justseems like one ofthose formativeexperiences

Ask any veg-etarian they willtell you that op-tions have signif-icantly improvedover the last de-cade and there

are some pretty delicious meatsubstitute products out there

Food has always been alarge part of my life and thereis very little I love more thansharing a meal with the peopleI care about Irsquod like to be ableto do that without restraintI donrsquot want to have to go toMcDonaldrsquos and have a po-tato party by myself whileeveryone else is digging into theirburgers or go to Chick-Fil-Aand eat a cold wrap while people

are eating warm chicken sand- wiches I want to be able to eatsomething substantial and sat-isfying without having to crossmy 1047297ngers and hope that thefast food restaurant wersquore go-ing to has more than saladfor vegetarians

So why is it that there arestill so few fast food chains

with decent vegetarian optionsI get that the eating options inan area are in1047298uenced by anarearsquos culture and I also under-stand that accommodate thatculture isnrsquot the easiest thingBut I also see that the demograph-ic of these areas are changing Asa result I think that businessesincluding restaurants shouldre1047298ect the wants and needs of

their consumers

Fast foods should catermore to vegetarians

are off ering more

It is the beginning of the endfor expensive cable and satelliteservices It seems like more ofthe younger generation is decid-ing to ldquocut the cordrdquo choosingto stream all of their entertain-ment instead of paying out thenose for a TV service As soonas I graduate and am living onmy own I will probably do thesame Content providers need torecognize this trend and maketheir shows and movies moreeasily available online

Te main problem with cableand satellite services is that mostcustomers end up paying for waymore content than what theyactually want Te customershave to buy channels in pack-ages at a high price but usuallyleave most of those channels un- watched On top of that theyhave to sit through commercialbreaks that seem to be longerand occur more frequently thanever before Contrast that expe-rience with watching a show onNet1047298ix or even Hulu Net1047298ixhas no commercials at all whileHulursquos breaks are de1047297nitely

shorter than the ones on TVPlus both services off er instantstreaming of a wide assortment

of content and have a better se-lection than what any cable orsatellite on-demand service canoff er

Services such as Sling TV areattempting to solve the problemof paying for unwanted contentby off ering their channels ldquoa lacarterdquo Consumers can pay formuch more specialized chan-nel packages at a much lowerprice than other providers andbe able to stream their contentacross multiple types of devices While this i s a step in the rightdirection it is still not as ben-e1047297cial to the consumer as beingable to choose individual chan-

nels or even stream individualprograms at an even lower cost At this point the only use

I have for a cable service is for watching live sports As a bigcollege football and hockey fanif I were to ditch cable I wouldnot be able to watch the vast ma-

jority of the games I want to seeVirtually every NHL game is oncable and only a small percent-age of college football games arebroadcast over the air

However I predict that thissituation will not persist formuch longer Sports leagues areslowly realizing the potentialand consumerrsquos preference instreaming content Hopefullythey will make more of theirgames available online and

customers can receive the sameviewing experience throughtheir internet connection that

they have known for yearsthrough their TV at a fractionof the cost (or even for free)

Related to the sports issuethe current system of contentdelivery for the professionalleagues is outdated and unfairSpeci1047297cally the limitations on

watching out of market gamesare arbitrary and detrimentalto the fans As an example Iam from Boston and a fan ofall their teams but I obviouslylive in Atlanta for school NFLgames are broadcast over the airfor free but each game is onlyavailable in certain markets IfI want to watch my Patriots onSunday afternoons the NFLdemands that I sign up for Di-recTV so that I can use theirexpensive NFL Sunday Ticketservice Instead of watching forfree I would have to pay $240($15 per game) to see my teamsimply because I live in a diff er-ent area of the country In anage where streaming services areat an all-time high these archa-ic policies simply do not makesense Hopefully in the near

future we will see more contentcreators make their works moreeasily accessible to everyone

Old cable needs to get with the timesldquo more of the younger

generation is deciding to

lsquocut the cordrsquo choosing

After nine long months myNew Yearrsquos resolution is still ontrack to be complete come Janu-ary Rather than promise to lose20 pounds gain 20 pounds or1047297nally read a book I decided onsomething that was actually at-tainable to try one new thingevery month Since making thatdecision I have become an avidkickboxer an unsuccessful blog-ger and a lover of the spicy chickensandwich Last month however Iraised the stakes to a new high I

went on my 1047297rst Tinder dateTe preparation for this task

was a feat in and of itself I had totake pictures with my dog comeup with a clever bio and carry outthe long and shallow process ofswiping After three arduous daysof questioning my motherrsquos assess-ment of my devilishly good looksand boyish charm the matchesslowly started coming in

All of the girls I met on Tinder

were perfectly normalT

ere weresporty blondes bookish brunettesand everything in between Some-

where in that spectrum thoughthere was Emily (whose name hasbeen changed in order to protecther identity)

Emily like many of my match-es 1047297t all of my requirements she

was a human female She was alsocute and she laughed at my jokesI thought I had found exactly

what I was look ing for I set up adate put on some real clothes andheaded into what proved to be oneof the most interesting afternoonsof my lifeTe beginning of the date was

exactly as I had expected it to beSiblings majors and television

were discussed and my mind was

able to paint a general picture of

this girl that was a stranger twohours prior It wasnrsquot until anoff hand remark about her namehowever that things took an in-teresting turn

One simple request ldquoDonrsquotGoogle my namerdquo sent my imagi-nation into overdrive Was I shar-ing a delicious pizza with a crimi-nal A low-key Olympic athlete

A closet porn star perhaps Mycuriosity overcame my obedienceand during a short trip to the

bathroom the least exciting of mythree possibilities was con1047297rmedStaring back from my phonescreen was Emily wearing an or-ange jumpsuit and an acrid scowl

She was very nice and we werehaving a great time so I felt noneed to press her for detai ls on hercriminal past Soon enough how-ever she sated my burning curios-ity and brought up the details ofher arrest I acted surprised whenshe told me she had been arrestedbut the look on my face when Iheard she was a drug dealer wasone of genuine shock

She had a Chaco tan was ob-sessed with ldquoTe Bachelorrdquo and

was studying mechanical engi-neering Needless to say she abso-lutely de1047297ed my schema of a drug

dealer Almost one month prior

In the backdrop of a techni-cal university Tech is a campusrich in its world views thanks toits mix of cultures and religionsfrom around the world Many ofthe students here at Tech are ableto engage with those of similarbeliefs religious or otherwisethanks to the plethora of faith-based organizations Tis createsan opportunity for interfaith dia-logue mdash an opportunity beingused by students and sta ff fromvarious walks of Tech life Teseindividualsrsquo eff orts have led to thecreation of panels classes and sur-veys to help create an environmentbased on cooperation and under-standing at Tech

Many students have gottenactively involved in stimulatinginterfaith discussion on campusldquoI would say that Georgia Techis pretty comfortable with di-versityrdquo said Sophia Rashid arecent Tech graduate with a de-gree in International A ff airs ldquoAtthe same time I feel like we donrsquot

necessarily engage that diver-sity because we sort of take it forgranted I think that we see eachother a lot but we donrsquot necessar-ily know each otherrdquo

Earlier this year Sophia along with four other Tech studentsattended the Interfaith Leader-ship Institute (ILI) a programintended to equip students to

work with diverse religious andnon-religious identities on their

own campuses Tose same 1047297veattendees came back to Tech andorganized Better Together Day

where about forty students andsta ff came to listen and speak onfaith and belief Sophia explainedthat shersquod advise everyone to en-gage with those of other faiths

ldquoDonrsquot be afraid to share whoyou are and to seek to connect

with people on a deep level Itrsquos

stunning how much people whoare diff erent can really strengtheneach other and inspire each otherand do good togetherrdquo SophiasaidTe ILI is an event organized

by the Interfaith Youth Core whose goal is according to So-phia to bring students together toldquobe visionary about how we can bemore proactive about building re-

lationships across the communityand identifying things that matterto all of us that we can work to-gether to have an impact onrdquo

One of those common pointsis the necessity of helping othersldquoItrsquos something that pervades allthe faith backgrounds that wersquovelooked intordquo said Elizabeth Balgaone of Georgia Techrsquos delegates tothe ILI and director of MOVE

Techrsquos volunteer organizationShe explained that she 1047297nds thiscommon point inspiring sinceinterfaith community service issomething shersquos very interestedin bringing about ldquoTatlsquos what I

would want to see people havingdialogue and then acting on thedialogue and using it as a platformto do good for both our campusand Atlantardquo Elizabeth said

Tese opportunities for dis-course arenrsquot just being organizedby the students however A newcourse IAC 3803 will be off eredin the spring that will treat the in-teraction of diff erent worldviewsldquoI began to become aware of adesire on the part of students tohave a venue where they can talkabout the relationships betweenscience and engineering and reli-gion particularly in the contextof interfaith activitiesrdquo explainedDr John Cressler the electricalengineering professor organizingthe course Cressler came to thetopic of interfaith dialogue dur-ing his research for his historical1047297ction novels which are set inmedieval Spain during a period

of coexistence of Islamic Jewishand Christian communities Tecourse will be small and heavilydiscussion based with a large em-phasis on ethical implications thatadvances in science and engineer-ing bring to the world and howdiff erent world views might deal

Te art of waking up early $amp$ (amp$)

$amp($amp) +amp$

Are you waking up every morn-ing enumerating all the expletivesin the English language Do youleave breakfast wishing that yourcup could hold more coff ee Doyou even eat breakfast at all Forall the inconveniences that anearly morning lecture brings itis a necessary evil for those of us

who seriously messed up our reg-istration Luckily not all is lostHere are a number of things thatyou can do to make your 8 amlecture not just bearable but en-

joyable As Ben Franklin once said

ldquoEarly to bed and early to risemakes a man healthy wealthy and

wiserdquo Going to bed early must beone of the most underrated evenridiculed ideas on any collegecampus However the bene1047297tsof sleeping early are indisputableStudies have shown that people

who go to sleep earlier are lesslikely to become obese and havebetter heart health Te 1047297rst stepto preparing for an early morn-

ing is sleeping earlier and why wouldnrsquot you if it could improveyour physical health

Secondly it is very importantto use an alarm correctly Te 1047297rstrule to using an alarm is that ifyou snooze you lose Hitting thesnooze button is never a good ideabecause falling asleep after yoursquovealready been woken up is detri-mental to your bodyrsquos circadianrhythms Plus it is important to

get used to waking up with con-viction if you are going to have todo it for the entire semester

Next make sure you allowyourself adequate time to showerget dressed and grab breakfastTere is no point in making it to

lecture on time if yoursquore starvingand you smell like a zoo Finallyhere comes the fun part choos-ing the jams that you wake up toPersonally I chose the most god-awful song I could possibly 1047297ndon my iPhone so that Irsquod have nochoice but to get out of bed andshut the darn thing up A songthat you like works just as well sothat your alarm isnrsquot too jolting inthe morning

Te 1047297nal step to waking upearly is to 1047297nd a reason why youdo it Some of us signed up forthe 8 am lecture because of theprofessor we really wanted Try to1047297nd something positive that re-sults from waking up Maybe you

have more free time in the after-noon Perhaps you get to see thesun rise or feel the frosty air that

will be long gone when all yourfriends emerge from their dorms

Whatever it is waking up forthat 8 am class shou ld be a bless-ing not a curse If you stick close-ly to the tips above and followyour routine consistently yoursquollbe strolling into 1047297rst period witha giant smile in no time

that the course will be structuredaround diversity and re1047298ectionand would not be a space for pros-elytizing ldquoTe invitation for stu-dents is that they will get to knowtheir worldview much betterrdquoCressler said Cressler will per-sonally handle applications thatinterested students can request byemail

Supporting this initiative isthe IDEALS survey which waslaunched this year and was sentout to all 1047297rst year students Tesurvey intends to gather informa-tion about belief and attitude to-

ward religion among the studentbody Te aim is to 1047297nd out whatmight be done to improve the cli-

mate of interfaith dialogue ldquoItrsquosabout creating safe spaces for it tohappen and part of it is knowing

where our student body stands which is what this survey let usknowrdquo explained Dr GeromeStephens Director for the Of-1047297ce of Leadership and Civic En-gagement Follow up surveys willcome in the future to assess howattitudes change during onersquos timeat Tech

With so much going on aroundcampus therersquos a lot for studentsto get involved in Tose inter-ested can contact Dean StephanieRay who is the Director of Diver-sity Programs or Sarah Perkins ofthe Office of Leadership and CivicManagement for more informa-tion

In March of this year ChefGuy Wong the restaurateur whodelivered Atlanta Asian fusion joints Miso Izakaya and YumBunz launched his third attemptat a hit restaurant Le Fat nestledamong countless other Westside restaurants and retail stores off ers Atlantans modestly priced Viet-namese food that is simple and well-executed

Just southwest of campus on

Marietta Street it is a manageable walk or a short Uber ride awayParking is available by valet or wherever possible as t here tend tobe open spots in the small lot be-hind Octane the coff ee shop

In the Great Gatsby F ScottFitzgerald remarks ldquoI like largeparties Teyrsquore so intimate Atsmall parties there isnrsquot any pri-vacyrdquo

Le Fat absolutely supports thisopinion the restaurant and all its

customers are captivated by a mu-tual energy Tere is nothing as-tonishing about the decor whichcould be improved but the smalldining room and closely arrangedtables bring another type of dy-namic mdash sound

Customers feel strangely com-fortable and happy with their fel-low restaurant-goers surroundingthem and laughing in an escapistmanner Loud restaurants can beirritating at times but its volumegives Le Fat a positive characteris-tic that makes the customersrsquo ex-perience much more fun

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

As an example of the serversrsquogood will Matthew a waiter lastSaturday walked through the

menu with a pescatarian custom-er outlining safe dishes and thosethat the cooks could modify with-out hesitation Te general hustleand bustle of the service sta ff givesthe dining room a busy vibe add-ing to the crazy high-tempo am-biance

Te ultimate objective of a res-taurant though is to serve superbfood and Le Fat does not let cus-tomers down by any means Tostart the bowl of phở broth at

only $3 is extremely a ff ordableand was smooth reserved anddelicious even without all the ricenoodles meat and herbs in a typi-cal bowl of phở

Te soft-shell BLT bun appe-tizer was n icely fried but proved tobe a bit overpowering when com-pared to the other delicate 1047298avorsof the steamed bun and the other1047297llers Te serverrsquos recommen-dation was the crowning jewel

though As an entree the clay potchicken achieves astounding lev-els of excellence

Te pot is brought to the tableand the server places it to lift thelid and overwhelm the guest withan immaculate fragrance Filled tothe brim with perfectly seasonedbeautifully cooked bite-sizedmorsels of chicken accompaniedby sauteacuteed onions peppers and aside of rice this dishrsquos simplicity

is what propels it to the next level Atlanta as a food Mecca

proves to be ever-expanding pro-viding new venue options everyyear (watch for the Ponce CityMarket food court openings)Tis year with Le Fat Guy Wongshows both his ability as a high-grade restaurateur and his culi-nary prowess as a chef a worthytrip for a magnetic atmosphereand fantastic food

teresting about this art showmdash and what added to the liveli-ness mdash was the variety of artisticmediums presented Lining the walls were displays of paintingsphotography digital art wood- working and jewelry On stageTe DC Gentlemen OLU andCDupe performed musical actsranging from hip hop to soul In

the open space various artists dis-played their works

To someone unfamiliar withart shows this event could havebeen overwhelming but to those

with more experience it presenteda lively interpretation of a typicalexhibition

Adri Sanahujarsquos costume andpainting collection was one of themore unconventional exhibits us-ing materials like bright-coloredvinyl mesh cotton yarn feath-ers handmade embroidery andof course pompoms Sanahujarecently moved to Atlanta fromCosta Rica her costume designsare often featured in music videos1047297lmed in Atlanta

ldquoEclectic Pompom is inspiredby the blending of modern andeclectic art Tis collection com-bines the styles of the women ofthe Hmong community and theHindu spirituality so they work inharmonyrdquo Sanahuja said

Another artist present was Da-vid Phillips owner of Wabstractan abstract wood art companybased in Athens Georgia He cre-ates modern looks using diff er-

ent colored wood panels Phillipsdescribed RAW as ldquoin tune with what the people want Whetherit be following a trend or goingagainst the grain there is some-thing here for everyonerdquo

ldquoI did not think I was going torun in college at allrdquo Keady saidldquoI wasnrsquot that good in high schoolBut Coach Drosky came up to meafter the race and I had no ideahe was there and he invited me tothe team It was a very rewardingexperiencerdquo

Like most cross country run-ners Keady is also a member ofboth the indoor and outdoor trackteams but she considers crosscountry to be her favorite of thethree sports She is a highly mo-tivated runner and has been in-spired to run by her mother sincethe beginning

ldquoI ran my 1047297rst 5K race with mymom when I was sevenrdquo Keadysaid ldquoShe has always been a bigpart of my life and we always rantogether when I was youngerrdquo

If there is one aspect that Ke-ady would like the student bodyto know about her team it is theamount of eff ort that they putinto practice

ldquoCross country is de1047297nitely notvery glamorous Itrsquos not football

or anythingrdquo Keady said ldquoBut we work very hard Wersquore up at 5 amTuesdays and Fridays and still goto a full day of classes We run anaverage of over 10 miles per day

We work really hard and still havepretty high GPAsrdquo

Te Tech volleyball teamcoming off a 13-18 eff ort last sea-son has better intentions for theirsecond season under head coachMichelle Collier A Brazil nativeCoach Collier came to Tech lastseason after she took an impres-sive Jacksonville University Dol-phinrsquos team to the NCAA Tour-nament In her 1047297rst year as coachfor the Jackets the team showedimprovements from the previousseason in every statistical categoryand they to do the same this year

As the clock struck noon onFriday Aug 28 Yellow Jacketfans swarmed into the OrsquoKeefeGymnasium to cheer on the vol-leyball team in their season open-er against the Siena Bulldogs

Tis was the teamrsquos 1047297rst matchin the two-day four-match invita-tional known as the Georgia TechCourtyard by Marriott AtlantaMidtown Invitational and the

Jackets were out for a victory Ledby off ense from juniors TeeganVan Gunst and Lauren Pitz who

both had 9 kills the team played with u nity and ferocity sweepingthe Bulldogs in three sets 25-1425-17 and 25-17

Later that day the Jackets weremet with a challenge they couldnot surmount In a match that

went into the 1047297fth set Tech wasupended by the Coastal CarolinaChanticleers Te Jackets won the1047297rst set 25-17 and appeared to beon their way to another victory

however in the second and thirdframes Tech looked unwontedstruggling to 1047297nd its rhythmTech narrowly evaded defeat inthe fourth leg of the match es-caping with a 25-23 win but in a1047297fteen-point 1047297fth set the Chanti-cleers caught 1047297re winning the set15-9 and the match 3-2

A 1047297ve-set match would nothave been possible were it notfor the performances of the VanGunst twins juniors Teeganand Annika who both had hugematches

ldquoWe feed off each otherrsquos ener-gyrdquo T Van Gunst said ldquoWe pickeach other up when wersquore downand celebrate together in the goodmomentsrdquo

To this response the stats serveas evidence Annika had 13 killsand 13 digs while Teegan amassed22 kills and 13 digs Tough los-ing is never easy the Jackets werenot enervated by the defeat

ldquoWe just have to get past thisone and move on to the next twothis weekendrdquo T Van Gunst sa id

And move on they did Inthe two Saturday matches Tech

played with a vendetta embar-rassing their two opponents by apoint total of 150-80

In their noon contest againstUT-Martin the Jackets exercisedmore precision and volition thanthey did in their match versusCoastal Carolina limiting them-selves to only eleven errors Enroute to thumping the Skyhawks

junior London Ackerman pro-vided 1047297ve aces while sophomore

Sydney Wilson was mimicked by Annika as they contributed 11kills apiece

If hunger for redemption wasthe motivation for the UT-Martinmatch it was the status quo forthe Citadel match as Tech playedevery point with an edge Junior

Ashley Askinrsquos performance wasparticularly compelling as sheracked up 11 kills and 10 digs

throughout the match Sweep-ing the Bulldogs to wrap up theinvitational the Jackets now 1047297ndthemselves with a 3-1 record andan entire season ahead of them-selves Moving forward the Jack-ets look to do as all great teamshave done and turn this earlyseason momentum into a year in

which the Tech volleyball team will be remembered

Te National Science Founda-tion will fund a $12 million net- work of universities and instituteslooking to design more sustain-able cities with Tech as an anchorinstitutionTe project officially titled

ldquoIntegrated Urban InfrastructureSolutions for EnvironmentallySustainable Healthy and Liv-able Citiesrdquo aims to test and re-1047297ne strategies to make cities moreeco-friendly and desirable to livein Nine universities includingTech University of Minnesotaand Columbia University will work with policy ana lysts and in-dustry partners over the course ofthe next four years to implementnew infrastructure in ldquotest citiesrdquothroughout the United States andIndia Te candidates for thosetest cities include New York De-troit and Atlanta

Tech will play a critical role in

this Sustainability Research Net- work (SRN) According to Ar-mistead Russell Regents Professorof Environmental Engineering atTech and Co-Principal Investiga-tor with the sustainable cities proj-ect there are three primary rolesTech will play in the network

ldquoFirst we bring unique re-search capabilities to the networkinvestigatorsrdquo Russell said ldquoInparticular we are actively engagedin research directly related tohealth be it the linkage betweenair pollution and health com-munity involvement and the con-structed environment and healthor climate extremes [such as]drought and 1047298ooding risksrdquo

Secondarily Tech will be lead-ing the educational component of

the program with Nisha Botchw-

ey Associate Professor of City andRegional Planning at the helmIn addition to hosting training workshops and summer schoolsessions Tech will begin off eringa new interdisciplinary graduatecerti1047297cation in ldquoIntegrated Infra-structure Solutions for Sustain-able Healthy and Livable Citiesrdquoand will also be conducting out-reach eff orts with the K-12 com-munity in AtlantaTirdly Tech personnel are

playing key roles in the networkrsquosleadership cohort In additionto Russell and Botchwey DrMarion Usselman Associate Di-rector of Federal Outreach andResearch will be working withTechrsquos Center for Education In-tegrating Science Mathematicsamp Computing (or CEISMC) oncreating and implementing K-12lesson plans on sustainability andeco-friendliness

Techrsquos contributions to theSRN will focus primarily on cre-ating solutions to sustainability

My roommates blast a lot ofbubblegum pop in our apart-ment the kind of vapid auto-tune that shrivels hipstersrsquo earsand makes the geriatrics sayldquoWhy do kidslisten to that gar-bagerdquo

Tere aresongs we haveplayed so of-

ten the lyricsare etched intoour walls Halfof these songs Ilike and will singalong to occa-sionally in keyTe other half confuse me

A recurring pattern exists when it comes to music and ag-ing around age thirteen peopletend to start out with basic Top40 hits and then in their lateteens and twenties they branchout into other genres Musicaltastes peak in the late twentiesand stagnate just afterwardsmdash according to Spotify userscease adding new artists to theirlistening patterns around age33 After age 33 Top 40 hits

become a foreign language onlythe youngsters speakI am already at the point

where I do not recognize halfof what sits on the charts but Ihave 1047297nally gotten to where it nolonger bothers me Like every-one who goes to college I haveless and less in common withmy high school self each day in-cluding the fact that I no longerfake having a good taste in mu-sic In high school staying cur-rent in music whether with TopHits or underground artists soindie you could make up a bandname was almost a requirementif you wanted to function so-cially I pretended to like bands whose names sounded like ran-dom word assortments read off

of Scrabble and pop artists who

replaced a letter of their name with some kind of punctuationmark In college nobody caresMusic has diverged so thor-oughly that only listening to

one genre is likeonly reading onepage of a bookOne of the bestparts about col-lege is that you

are introducedto so many newpeople who willintroduce you tonew artists andsongs you prob-ably would not

have stumbled upon otherwise You can switch on WREK radioor pop over to Under the Couchto hear something diff erent Youcan stumble through music fes-tivals or be a face in the crowdat the Homecoming concertStreaming sites pair you up with genres like an audio speeddating service and before youknow it your iTunes library hastripled in size Spotify even hasDiscover Weekly where theirservice will compare songs you

like and create a new playlist foryou every week You can evenmingle with local artists on At-lantarsquos underground music sceneand connect with college-ageartists and smaller bands Tereis no point in holding onto onegenre or falling into a concretehabit Tere is no need to feelproud that you are the only per-son on the planet who listens toa certain indie band and there isno reason to fake a good taste inmusic because it no longer mat-ters who you listen to

So when my roommatesblast something catchy andautotuned and I have no idea what the song is or who it isby I sit back and listen andam thankful that I have years

Being a vegetarian isnrsquot reallythat hard nowadays I remember

when I was younger my familyand I would go on road tripsand wersquod stop in the middleof nowhere forfood and strug-gle to 1047297nd some-thing other thanfries and a salad

Now we just

stop at a TacoBell or SubwayI still rememberthe 1047297rst time I

walked into aTaco Bell and

was blown awayby the sheer number of op-tions I had replace anything

with beans Taco Bell was veg-etarian fast food paradise andquite frankly still is Irsquove no-ticed that a rising number ofnice restaurants are off eringmore vegetarian options be it agood veggie burger or just reallygood pasta but therersquos still a lagin the world of fast food

I bring up fast food becauseitrsquos the most convenient foodespecially for college students

See the thing is cooking is mybest bet as a vegetarian butsometimes I just donrsquot want tocook I also donrsquot want some-thing so fancy I have to lookdecent and I donrsquot want to wa itfor my food I want somethingquick and easy something witha drive through Burger Kinghas its veggie burger and Chick-Fil-A has its wraps but thereare so many other restaurantsthat could have more

For example McDonaldrsquosis not ideal for a vegetariantheyrsquove got fries a salad andsome breakfast items but noveggie burger In other coun-tries theyrsquove customized speci1047297cbrands to the countriesrsquo tastesIn India McDonaldrsquos has ma-

sala patties and plenty of other

vegetarian options Irsquom notasking for a masala pattie butit would be nice to have a de-cent black bean burger I wantto be able to say Irsquove eaten a

Big Mac Sure it would be vege-tarian but it justseems like one ofthose formativeexperiences

Ask any veg-etarian they willtell you that op-tions have signif-icantly improvedover the last de-cade and there

are some pretty delicious meatsubstitute products out there

Food has always been alarge part of my life and thereis very little I love more thansharing a meal with the peopleI care about Irsquod like to be ableto do that without restraintI donrsquot want to have to go toMcDonaldrsquos and have a po-tato party by myself whileeveryone else is digging into theirburgers or go to Chick-Fil-Aand eat a cold wrap while people

are eating warm chicken sand- wiches I want to be able to eatsomething substantial and sat-isfying without having to crossmy 1047297ngers and hope that thefast food restaurant wersquore go-ing to has more than saladfor vegetarians

So why is it that there arestill so few fast food chains

with decent vegetarian optionsI get that the eating options inan area are in1047298uenced by anarearsquos culture and I also under-stand that accommodate thatculture isnrsquot the easiest thingBut I also see that the demograph-ic of these areas are changing Asa result I think that businessesincluding restaurants shouldre1047298ect the wants and needs of

their consumers

Fast foods should catermore to vegetarians

ldquo restaurants

are off ering more

vegetarian options

but therersquos still a lag inthe world of fast foodrdquo

It is the beginning of the endfor expensive cable and satelliteservices It seems like more ofthe younger generation is decid-ing to ldquocut the cordrdquo choosingto stream all of their entertain-ment instead of paying out thenose for a TV service As soonas I graduate and am living onmy own I will probably do thesame Content providers need torecognize this trend and maketheir shows and movies moreeasily available online

Te main problem with cableand satellite services is that mostcustomers end up paying for waymore content than what theyactually want Te customershave to buy channels in pack-ages at a high price but usuallyleave most of those channels un- watched On top of that theyhave to sit through commercialbreaks that seem to be longerand occur more frequently thanever before Contrast that expe-rience with watching a show onNet1047298ix or even Hulu Net1047298ixhas no commercials at all whileHulursquos breaks are de1047297nitely

shorter than the ones on TVPlus both services off er instantstreaming of a wide assortment

of content and have a better se-lection than what any cable orsatellite on-demand service canoff er

Services such as Sling TV areattempting to solve the problemof paying for unwanted contentby off ering their channels ldquoa lacarterdquo Consumers can pay formuch more specialized chan-nel packages at a much lowerprice than other providers andbe able to stream their contentacross multiple types of devices While this i s a step in the rightdirection it is still not as ben-e1047297cial to the consumer as beingable to choose individual chan-

nels or even stream individualprograms at an even lower cost At this point the only use

I have for a cable service is for watching live sports As a bigcollege football and hockey fanif I were to ditch cable I wouldnot be able to watch the vast ma-

jority of the games I want to seeVirtually every NHL game is oncable and only a small percent-age of college football games arebroadcast over the air

However I predict that thissituation will not persist formuch longer Sports leagues areslowly realizing the potentialand consumerrsquos preference instreaming content Hopefullythey will make more of theirgames available online and

customers can receive the sameviewing experience throughtheir internet connection that

they have known for yearsthrough their TV at a fractionof the cost (or even for free)

Related to the sports issuethe current system of contentdelivery for the professionalleagues is outdated and unfairSpeci1047297cally the limitations on

watching out of market gamesare arbitrary and detrimentalto the fans As an example Iam from Boston and a fan ofall their teams but I obviouslylive in Atlanta for school NFLgames are broadcast over the airfor free but each game is onlyavailable in certain markets IfI want to watch my Patriots onSunday afternoons the NFLdemands that I sign up for Di-recTV so that I can use theirexpensive NFL Sunday Ticketservice Instead of watching forfree I would have to pay $240($15 per game) to see my teamsimply because I live in a diff er-ent area of the country In anage where streaming services areat an all-time high these archa-ic policies simply do not makesense Hopefully in the near

future we will see more contentcreators make their works moreeasily accessible to everyone

Old cable needs to get with the timesldquo more of the younger

generation is deciding to

lsquocut the cordrsquo choosing

to stream all of their

entertainment rdquo

After nine long months myNew Yearrsquos resolution is still ontrack to be complete come Janu-ary Rather than promise to lose20 pounds gain 20 pounds or1047297nally read a book I decided onsomething that was actually at-tainable to try one new thingevery month Since making thatdecision I have become an avidkickboxer an unsuccessful blog-ger and a lover of the spicy chickensandwich Last month however Iraised the stakes to a new high I

went on my 1047297rst Tinder dateTe preparation for this task

was a feat in and of itself I had totake pictures with my dog comeup with a clever bio and carry outthe long and shallow process ofswiping After three arduous daysof questioning my motherrsquos assess-ment of my devilishly good looksand boyish charm the matchesslowly started coming in

All of the girls I met on Tinder

were perfectly normalT

ere weresporty blondes bookish brunettesand everything in between Some-

where in that spectrum thoughthere was Emily (whose name hasbeen changed in order to protecther identity)

Emily like many of my match-es 1047297t all of my requirements she

was a human female She was alsocute and she laughed at my jokesI thought I had found exactly

what I was look ing for I set up adate put on some real clothes andheaded into what proved to be oneof the most interesting afternoonsof my lifeTe beginning of the date was

exactly as I had expected it to beSiblings majors and television

were discussed and my mind was

able to paint a general picture of

this girl that was a stranger twohours prior It wasnrsquot until anoff hand remark about her namehowever that things took an in-teresting turn

One simple request ldquoDonrsquotGoogle my namerdquo sent my imagi-nation into overdrive Was I shar-ing a delicious pizza with a crimi-nal A low-key Olympic athlete

A closet porn star perhaps Mycuriosity overcame my obedienceand during a short trip to the

bathroom the least exciting of mythree possibilities was con1047297rmedStaring back from my phonescreen was Emily wearing an or-ange jumpsuit and an acrid scowl

She was very nice and we werehaving a great time so I felt noneed to press her for detai ls on hercriminal past Soon enough how-ever she sated my burning curios-ity and brought up the details ofher arrest I acted surprised whenshe told me she had been arrestedbut the look on my face when Iheard she was a drug dealer wasone of genuine shock

She had a Chaco tan was ob-sessed with ldquoTe Bachelorrdquo and

was studying mechanical engi-neering Needless to say she abso-lutely de1047297ed my schema of a drug

dealer Almost one month prior

to our date she was in handcuff s(not unlike the kind yoursquod usuallysee on a Tinder date) and in theback of a police car

But Emilyrsquos tale began monthsbefore that when life began serv-ing her a series of uncontrollablecircumstances She lost her moth-er was forced to forgo her collegeplans in order to stay local and

worked two jobs to support her-self Irsquom not condoning the sale ofdrugs but I believe she was justi-1047297

ed in feeling overwhelmed We 1047297nally 1047297nished our pizzaafter three hours of stories tearsand laughs and I drove homethoroughly satis1047297ed with my Tin-der experience Rather than lookat every criminal as the embodi-ment of their bad choices I nowunderstand that they could simplybe victims of circumstance

Most importantly I decidedthat everybody needs to go ona Tinder date before they die Itprovides you with the perspec-tive of a complete stranger andputs you in a situation that you

would otherwise never experi-ence Tere are certainly risks in-volved with Tinder but if you useit right you could be eating pizza

with a criminal and having the

time of your life

right on new perspectivesldquoEmily like many of my

matches fit all of my

requirements she was a

In the backdrop of a techni-cal university Tech is a campusrich in its world views thanks toits mix of cultures and religionsfrom around the world Many ofthe students here at Tech are ableto engage with those of similarbeliefs religious or otherwisethanks to the plethora of faith-based organizations Tis createsan opportunity for interfaith dia-logue mdash an opportunity beingused by students and sta ff fromvarious walks of Tech life Teseindividualsrsquo eff orts have led to thecreation of panels classes and sur-veys to help create an environmentbased on cooperation and under-standing at Tech

Many students have gottenactively involved in stimulatinginterfaith discussion on campusldquoI would say that Georgia Techis pretty comfortable with di-versityrdquo said Sophia Rashid arecent Tech graduate with a de-gree in International A ff airs ldquoAtthe same time I feel like we donrsquot

necessarily engage that diver-sity because we sort of take it forgranted I think that we see eachother a lot but we donrsquot necessar-ily know each otherrdquo

Earlier this year Sophia along with four other Tech studentsattended the Interfaith Leader-ship Institute (ILI) a programintended to equip students to

work with diverse religious andnon-religious identities on their

own campuses Tose same 1047297veattendees came back to Tech andorganized Better Together Day

where about forty students andsta ff came to listen and speak onfaith and belief Sophia explainedthat shersquod advise everyone to en-gage with those of other faiths

ldquoDonrsquot be afraid to share whoyou are and to seek to connect

with people on a deep level Itrsquos

stunning how much people whoare diff erent can really strengtheneach other and inspire each otherand do good togetherrdquo SophiasaidTe ILI is an event organized

by the Interfaith Youth Core whose goal is according to So-phia to bring students together toldquobe visionary about how we can bemore proactive about building re-

lationships across the communityand identifying things that matterto all of us that we can work to-gether to have an impact onrdquo

One of those common pointsis the necessity of helping othersldquoItrsquos something that pervades allthe faith backgrounds that wersquovelooked intordquo said Elizabeth Balgaone of Georgia Techrsquos delegates tothe ILI and director of MOVE

Techrsquos volunteer organizationShe explained that she 1047297nds thiscommon point inspiring sinceinterfaith community service issomething shersquos very interestedin bringing about ldquoTatlsquos what I

would want to see people havingdialogue and then acting on thedialogue and using it as a platformto do good for both our campusand Atlantardquo Elizabeth said

Tese opportunities for dis-course arenrsquot just being organizedby the students however A newcourse IAC 3803 will be off eredin the spring that will treat the in-teraction of diff erent worldviewsldquoI began to become aware of adesire on the part of students tohave a venue where they can talkabout the relationships betweenscience and engineering and reli-gion particularly in the contextof interfaith activitiesrdquo explainedDr John Cressler the electricalengineering professor organizingthe course Cressler came to thetopic of interfaith dialogue dur-ing his research for his historical1047297ction novels which are set inmedieval Spain during a period

of coexistence of Islamic Jewishand Christian communities Tecourse will be small and heavilydiscussion based with a large em-phasis on ethical implications thatadvances in science and engineer-ing bring to the world and howdiff erent world views might deal

Te art of waking up early $amp$ (amp$)

$amp($amp) +amp$

Are you waking up every morn-ing enumerating all the expletivesin the English language Do youleave breakfast wishing that yourcup could hold more coff ee Doyou even eat breakfast at all Forall the inconveniences that anearly morning lecture brings itis a necessary evil for those of us

who seriously messed up our reg-istration Luckily not all is lostHere are a number of things thatyou can do to make your 8 amlecture not just bearable but en-

joyable As Ben Franklin once said

ldquoEarly to bed and early to risemakes a man healthy wealthy and

wiserdquo Going to bed early must beone of the most underrated evenridiculed ideas on any collegecampus However the bene1047297tsof sleeping early are indisputableStudies have shown that people

who go to sleep earlier are lesslikely to become obese and havebetter heart health Te 1047297rst stepto preparing for an early morn-

ing is sleeping earlier and why wouldnrsquot you if it could improveyour physical health

Secondly it is very importantto use an alarm correctly Te 1047297rstrule to using an alarm is that ifyou snooze you lose Hitting thesnooze button is never a good ideabecause falling asleep after yoursquovealready been woken up is detri-mental to your bodyrsquos circadianrhythms Plus it is important to

get used to waking up with con-viction if you are going to have todo it for the entire semester

Next make sure you allowyourself adequate time to showerget dressed and grab breakfastTere is no point in making it to

lecture on time if yoursquore starvingand you smell like a zoo Finallyhere comes the fun part choos-ing the jams that you wake up toPersonally I chose the most god-awful song I could possibly 1047297ndon my iPhone so that Irsquod have nochoice but to get out of bed andshut the darn thing up A songthat you like works just as well sothat your alarm isnrsquot too jolting inthe morning

Te 1047297nal step to waking upearly is to 1047297nd a reason why youdo it Some of us signed up forthe 8 am lecture because of theprofessor we really wanted Try to1047297nd something positive that re-sults from waking up Maybe you

have more free time in the after-noon Perhaps you get to see thesun rise or feel the frosty air that

will be long gone when all yourfriends emerge from their dorms

Whatever it is waking up forthat 8 am class shou ld be a bless-ing not a curse If you stick close-ly to the tips above and followyour routine consistently yoursquollbe strolling into 1047297rst period witha giant smile in no time

that the course will be structuredaround diversity and re1047298ectionand would not be a space for pros-elytizing ldquoTe invitation for stu-dents is that they will get to knowtheir worldview much betterrdquoCressler said Cressler will per-sonally handle applications thatinterested students can request byemail

Supporting this initiative isthe IDEALS survey which waslaunched this year and was sentout to all 1047297rst year students Tesurvey intends to gather informa-tion about belief and attitude to-

ward religion among the studentbody Te aim is to 1047297nd out whatmight be done to improve the cli-

mate of interfaith dialogue ldquoItrsquosabout creating safe spaces for it tohappen and part of it is knowing

where our student body stands which is what this survey let usknowrdquo explained Dr GeromeStephens Director for the Of-1047297ce of Leadership and Civic En-gagement Follow up surveys willcome in the future to assess howattitudes change during onersquos timeat Tech

With so much going on aroundcampus therersquos a lot for studentsto get involved in Tose inter-ested can contact Dean StephanieRay who is the Director of Diver-sity Programs or Sarah Perkins ofthe Office of Leadership and CivicManagement for more informa-tion

In March of this year ChefGuy Wong the restaurateur whodelivered Atlanta Asian fusion joints Miso Izakaya and YumBunz launched his third attemptat a hit restaurant Le Fat nestledamong countless other Westside restaurants and retail stores off ers Atlantans modestly priced Viet-namese food that is simple and well-executed

Just southwest of campus on

Marietta Street it is a manageable walk or a short Uber ride awayParking is available by valet or wherever possible as t here tend tobe open spots in the small lot be-hind Octane the coff ee shop

In the Great Gatsby F ScottFitzgerald remarks ldquoI like largeparties Teyrsquore so intimate Atsmall parties there isnrsquot any pri-vacyrdquo

Le Fat absolutely supports thisopinion the restaurant and all its

customers are captivated by a mu-tual energy Tere is nothing as-tonishing about the decor whichcould be improved but the smalldining room and closely arrangedtables bring another type of dy-namic mdash sound

Customers feel strangely com-fortable and happy with their fel-low restaurant-goers surroundingthem and laughing in an escapistmanner Loud restaurants can beirritating at times but its volumegives Le Fat a positive characteris-tic that makes the customersrsquo ex-perience much more fun

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

As an example of the serversrsquogood will Matthew a waiter lastSaturday walked through the

menu with a pescatarian custom-er outlining safe dishes and thosethat the cooks could modify with-out hesitation Te general hustleand bustle of the service sta ff givesthe dining room a busy vibe add-ing to the crazy high-tempo am-biance

Te ultimate objective of a res-taurant though is to serve superbfood and Le Fat does not let cus-tomers down by any means Tostart the bowl of phở broth at

only $3 is extremely a ff ordableand was smooth reserved anddelicious even without all the ricenoodles meat and herbs in a typi-cal bowl of phở

Te soft-shell BLT bun appe-tizer was n icely fried but proved tobe a bit overpowering when com-pared to the other delicate 1047298avorsof the steamed bun and the other1047297llers Te serverrsquos recommen-dation was the crowning jewel

though As an entree the clay potchicken achieves astounding lev-els of excellence

Te pot is brought to the tableand the server places it to lift thelid and overwhelm the guest withan immaculate fragrance Filled tothe brim with perfectly seasonedbeautifully cooked bite-sizedmorsels of chicken accompaniedby sauteacuteed onions peppers and aside of rice this dishrsquos simplicity

is what propels it to the next level Atlanta as a food Mecca

proves to be ever-expanding pro-viding new venue options everyyear (watch for the Ponce CityMarket food court openings)Tis year with Le Fat Guy Wongshows both his ability as a high-grade restaurateur and his culi-nary prowess as a chef a worthytrip for a magnetic atmosphereand fantastic food

As the clock struck noon onFriday Aug 28 Yellow Jacketfans swarmed into the OrsquoKeefeGymnasium to cheer on the vol-leyball team in their season open-er against the Siena Bulldogs

Tis was the teamrsquos 1047297rst matchin the two-day four-match invita-tional known as the Georgia TechCourtyard by Marriott AtlantaMidtown Invitational and the

Jackets were out for a victory Ledby off ense from juniors TeeganVan Gunst and Lauren Pitz who

both had 9 kills the team played with u nity and ferocity sweepingthe Bulldogs in three sets 25-1425-17 and 25-17

Later that day the Jackets weremet with a challenge they couldnot surmount In a match that

went into the 1047297fth set Tech wasupended by the Coastal CarolinaChanticleers Te Jackets won the1047297rst set 25-17 and appeared to beon their way to another victory

however in the second and thirdframes Tech looked unwontedstruggling to 1047297nd its rhythmTech narrowly evaded defeat inthe fourth leg of the match es-caping with a 25-23 win but in a1047297fteen-point 1047297fth set the Chanti-cleers caught 1047297re winning the set15-9 and the match 3-2

A 1047297ve-set match would nothave been possible were it notfor the performances of the VanGunst twins juniors Teeganand Annika who both had hugematches

ldquoWe feed off each otherrsquos ener-gyrdquo T Van Gunst said ldquoWe pickeach other up when wersquore downand celebrate together in the goodmomentsrdquo

To this response the stats serveas evidence Annika had 13 killsand 13 digs while Teegan amassed22 kills and 13 digs Tough los-ing is never easy the Jackets werenot enervated by the defeat

ldquoWe just have to get past thisone and move on to the next twothis weekendrdquo T Van Gunst sa id

And move on they did Inthe two Saturday matches Tech

played with a vendetta embar-rassing their two opponents by apoint total of 150-80

In their noon contest againstUT-Martin the Jackets exercisedmore precision and volition thanthey did in their match versusCoastal Carolina limiting them-selves to only eleven errors Enroute to thumping the Skyhawks

junior London Ackerman pro-vided 1047297ve aces while sophomore

Sydney Wilson was mimicked by Annika as they contributed 11kills apiece

If hunger for redemption wasthe motivation for the UT-Martinmatch it was the status quo forthe Citadel match as Tech playedevery point with an edge Junior

Ashley Askinrsquos performance wasparticularly compelling as sheracked up 11 kills and 10 digs

throughout the match Sweep-ing the Bulldogs to wrap up theinvitational the Jackets now 1047297ndthemselves with a 3-1 record andan entire season ahead of them-selves Moving forward the Jack-ets look to do as all great teamshave done and turn this earlyseason momentum into a year in

which the Tech volleyball team will be remembered

My roommates blast a lot ofbubblegum pop in our apart-ment the kind of vapid auto-tune that shrivels hipstersrsquo earsand makes the geriatrics sayldquoWhy do kidslisten to that gar-bagerdquo

Tere aresongs we haveplayed so of-

ten the lyricsare etched intoour walls Halfof these songs Ilike and will singalong to occa-sionally in keyTe other half confuse me

A recurring pattern exists when it comes to music and ag-ing around age thirteen peopletend to start out with basic Top40 hits and then in their lateteens and twenties they branchout into other genres Musicaltastes peak in the late twentiesand stagnate just afterwardsmdash according to Spotify userscease adding new artists to theirlistening patterns around age33 After age 33 Top 40 hits

become a foreign language onlythe youngsters speakI am already at the point

where I do not recognize halfof what sits on the charts but Ihave 1047297nally gotten to where it nolonger bothers me Like every-one who goes to college I haveless and less in common withmy high school self each day in-cluding the fact that I no longerfake having a good taste in mu-sic In high school staying cur-rent in music whether with TopHits or underground artists soindie you could make up a bandname was almost a requirementif you wanted to function so-cially I pretended to like bands whose names sounded like ran-dom word assortments read off

of Scrabble and pop artists who

replaced a letter of their name with some kind of punctuationmark In college nobody caresMusic has diverged so thor-oughly that only listening to

one genre is likeonly reading onepage of a bookOne of the bestparts about col-lege is that you

are introducedto so many newpeople who willintroduce you tonew artists andsongs you prob-ably would not

have stumbled upon otherwise You can switch on WREK radioor pop over to Under the Couchto hear something diff erent Youcan stumble through music fes-tivals or be a face in the crowdat the Homecoming concertStreaming sites pair you up with genres like an audio speeddating service and before youknow it your iTunes library hastripled in size Spotify even hasDiscover Weekly where theirservice will compare songs you

like and create a new playlist foryou every week You can evenmingle with local artists on At-lantarsquos underground music sceneand connect with college-ageartists and smaller bands Tereis no point in holding onto onegenre or falling into a concretehabit Tere is no need to feelproud that you are the only per-son on the planet who listens toa certain indie band and there isno reason to fake a good taste inmusic because it no longer mat-ters who you listen to

So when my roommatesblast something catchy andautotuned and I have no idea what the song is or who it isby I sit back and listen andam thankful that I have years

to go until I peak

Being a vegetarian isnrsquot reallythat hard nowadays I remember

when I was younger my familyand I would go on road tripsand wersquod stop in the middleof nowhere forfood and strug-gle to 1047297nd some-thing other thanfries and a salad

Now we just

stop at a TacoBell or SubwayI still rememberthe 1047297rst time I

walked into aTaco Bell and

was blown awayby the sheer number of op-tions I had replace anything

with beans Taco Bell was veg-etarian fast food paradise andquite frankly still is Irsquove no-ticed that a rising number ofnice restaurants are off eringmore vegetarian options be it agood veggie burger or just reallygood pasta but therersquos still a lagin the world of fast food

I bring up fast food becauseitrsquos the most convenient foodespecially for college students

See the thing is cooking is mybest bet as a vegetarian butsometimes I just donrsquot want tocook I also donrsquot want some-thing so fancy I have to lookdecent and I donrsquot want to wa itfor my food I want somethingquick and easy something witha drive through Burger Kinghas its veggie burger and Chick-Fil-A has its wraps but thereare so many other restaurantsthat could have more

For example McDonaldrsquosis not ideal for a vegetariantheyrsquove got fries a salad andsome breakfast items but noveggie burger In other coun-tries theyrsquove customized speci1047297cbrands to the countriesrsquo tastesIn India McDonaldrsquos has ma-

sala patties and plenty of other

vegetarian options Irsquom notasking for a masala pattie butit would be nice to have a de-cent black bean burger I wantto be able to say Irsquove eaten a

Big Mac Sure it would be vege-tarian but it justseems like one ofthose formativeexperiences

Ask any veg-etarian they willtell you that op-tions have signif-icantly improvedover the last de-cade and there

are some pretty delicious meatsubstitute products out there

Food has always been alarge part of my life and thereis very little I love more thansharing a meal with the peopleI care about Irsquod like to be ableto do that without restraintI donrsquot want to have to go toMcDonaldrsquos and have a po-tato party by myself whileeveryone else is digging into theirburgers or go to Chick-Fil-Aand eat a cold wrap while people

are eating warm chicken sand- wiches I want to be able to eatsomething substantial and sat-isfying without having to crossmy 1047297ngers and hope that thefast food restaurant wersquore go-ing to has more than saladfor vegetarians

So why is it that there arestill so few fast food chains

with decent vegetarian optionsI get that the eating options inan area are in1047298uenced by anarearsquos culture and I also under-stand that accommodate thatculture isnrsquot the easiest thingBut I also see that the demograph-ic of these areas are changing Asa result I think that businessesincluding restaurants shouldre1047298ect the wants and needs of

their consumers

Fast foods should catermore to vegetarians

ldquo restaurants

are off ering more

vegetarian options

but therersquos still a lag inthe world of fast foodrdquo

It is the beginning of the endfor expensive cable and satelliteservices It seems like more ofthe younger generation is decid-ing to ldquocut the cordrdquo choosingto stream all of their entertain-ment instead of paying out thenose for a TV service As soonas I graduate and am living onmy own I will probably do thesame Content providers need torecognize this trend and maketheir shows and movies moreeasily available online

Te main problem with cableand satellite services is that mostcustomers end up paying for waymore content than what theyactually want Te customershave to buy channels in pack-ages at a high price but usuallyleave most of those channels un- watched On top of that theyhave to sit through commercialbreaks that seem to be longerand occur more frequently thanever before Contrast that expe-rience with watching a show onNet1047298ix or even Hulu Net1047298ixhas no commercials at all whileHulursquos breaks are de1047297nitely

shorter than the ones on TVPlus both services off er instantstreaming of a wide assortment

of content and have a better se-lection than what any cable orsatellite on-demand service canoff er

Services such as Sling TV areattempting to solve the problemof paying for unwanted contentby off ering their channels ldquoa lacarterdquo Consumers can pay formuch more specialized chan-nel packages at a much lowerprice than other providers andbe able to stream their contentacross multiple types of devices While this i s a step in the rightdirection it is still not as ben-e1047297cial to the consumer as beingable to choose individual chan-

nels or even stream individualprograms at an even lower cost At this point the only use

I have for a cable service is for watching live sports As a bigcollege football and hockey fanif I were to ditch cable I wouldnot be able to watch the vast ma-

jority of the games I want to seeVirtually every NHL game is oncable and only a small percent-age of college football games arebroadcast over the air

However I predict that thissituation will not persist formuch longer Sports leagues areslowly realizing the potentialand consumerrsquos preference instreaming content Hopefullythey will make more of theirgames available online and

customers can receive the sameviewing experience throughtheir internet connection that

they have known for yearsthrough their TV at a fractionof the cost (or even for free)

Related to the sports issuethe current system of contentdelivery for the professionalleagues is outdated and unfairSpeci1047297cally the limitations on

watching out of market gamesare arbitrary and detrimentalto the fans As an example Iam from Boston and a fan ofall their teams but I obviouslylive in Atlanta for school NFLgames are broadcast over the airfor free but each game is onlyavailable in certain markets IfI want to watch my Patriots onSunday afternoons the NFLdemands that I sign up for Di-recTV so that I can use theirexpensive NFL Sunday Ticketservice Instead of watching forfree I would have to pay $240($15 per game) to see my teamsimply because I live in a diff er-ent area of the country In anage where streaming services areat an all-time high these archa-ic policies simply do not makesense Hopefully in the near

future we will see more contentcreators make their works moreeasily accessible to everyone

Old cable needs to get with the timesldquo more of the younger

generation is deciding to

lsquocut the cordrsquo choosing

After nine long months myNew Yearrsquos resolution is still ontrack to be complete come Janu-ary Rather than promise to lose20 pounds gain 20 pounds or1047297nally read a book I decided onsomething that was actually at-tainable to try one new thingevery month Since making thatdecision I have become an avidkickboxer an unsuccessful blog-ger and a lover of the spicy chickensandwich Last month however Iraised the stakes to a new high I

went on my 1047297rst Tinder dateTe preparation for this task

was a feat in and of itself I had totake pictures with my dog comeup with a clever bio and carry outthe long and shallow process ofswiping After three arduous daysof questioning my motherrsquos assess-ment of my devilishly good looksand boyish charm the matchesslowly started coming in

All of the girls I met on Tinder

were perfectly normalT

ere weresporty blondes bookish brunettesand everything in between Some-

where in that spectrum thoughthere was Emily (whose name hasbeen changed in order to protecther identity)

Emily like many of my match-es 1047297t all of my requirements she

was a human female She was alsocute and she laughed at my jokesI thought I had found exactly

what I was look ing for I set up adate put on some real clothes andheaded into what proved to be oneof the most interesting afternoonsof my lifeTe beginning of the date was

exactly as I had expected it to beSiblings majors and television

were discussed and my mind was

able to paint a general picture of

this girl that was a stranger twohours prior It wasnrsquot until anoff hand remark about her namehowever that things took an in-teresting turn

One simple request ldquoDonrsquotGoogle my namerdquo sent my imagi-nation into overdrive Was I shar-ing a delicious pizza with a crimi-nal A low-key Olympic athlete

A closet porn star perhaps Mycuriosity overcame my obedienceand during a short trip to the

bathroom the least exciting of mythree possibilities was con1047297rmedStaring back from my phonescreen was Emily wearing an or-ange jumpsuit and an acrid scowl

She was very nice and we werehaving a great time so I felt noneed to press her for detai ls on hercriminal past Soon enough how-ever she sated my burning curios-ity and brought up the details ofher arrest I acted surprised whenshe told me she had been arrestedbut the look on my face when Iheard she was a drug dealer wasone of genuine shock

She had a Chaco tan was ob-sessed with ldquoTe Bachelorrdquo and

was studying mechanical engi-neering Needless to say she abso-lutely de1047297ed my schema of a drug

dealer Almost one month prior

to our date she was in handcuff s(not unlike the kind yoursquod usuallysee on a Tinder date) and in theback of a police car

But Emilyrsquos tale began monthsbefore that when life began serv-ing her a series of uncontrollablecircumstances She lost her moth-er was forced to forgo her collegeplans in order to stay local and

worked two jobs to support her-self Irsquom not condoning the sale ofdrugs but I believe she was justi-1047297

ed in feeling overwhelmed We 1047297nally 1047297nished our pizzaafter three hours of stories tearsand laughs and I drove homethoroughly satis1047297ed with my Tin-der experience Rather than lookat every criminal as the embodi-ment of their bad choices I nowunderstand that they could simplybe victims of circumstance

Most importantly I decidedthat everybody needs to go ona Tinder date before they die Itprovides you with the perspec-tive of a complete stranger andputs you in a situation that you

would otherwise never experi-ence Tere are certainly risks in-volved with Tinder but if you useit right you could be eating pizza

with a criminal and having the

time of your life

Swipe lef on judgements and

right on new perspectivesldquoEmily like many of my

matches fit all of my

requirements she was a

human femalerdquo

In the backdrop of a techni-cal university Tech is a campusrich in its world views thanks toits mix of cultures and religionsfrom around the world Many ofthe students here at Tech are ableto engage with those of similarbeliefs religious or otherwisethanks to the plethora of faith-based organizations Tis createsan opportunity for interfaith dia-logue mdash an opportunity beingused by students and sta ff fromvarious walks of Tech life Teseindividualsrsquo eff orts have led to thecreation of panels classes and sur-veys to help create an environmentbased on cooperation and under-standing at Tech

Many students have gottenactively involved in stimulatinginterfaith discussion on campusldquoI would say that Georgia Techis pretty comfortable with di-versityrdquo said Sophia Rashid arecent Tech graduate with a de-gree in International A ff airs ldquoAtthe same time I feel like we donrsquot

necessarily engage that diver-sity because we sort of take it forgranted I think that we see eachother a lot but we donrsquot necessar-ily know each otherrdquo

Earlier this year Sophia along with four other Tech studentsattended the Interfaith Leader-ship Institute (ILI) a programintended to equip students to

work with diverse religious andnon-religious identities on their

own campuses Tose same 1047297veattendees came back to Tech andorganized Better Together Day

where about forty students andsta ff came to listen and speak onfaith and belief Sophia explainedthat shersquod advise everyone to en-gage with those of other faiths

ldquoDonrsquot be afraid to share whoyou are and to seek to connect

with people on a deep level Itrsquos

stunning how much people whoare diff erent can really strengtheneach other and inspire each otherand do good togetherrdquo SophiasaidTe ILI is an event organized

by the Interfaith Youth Core whose goal is according to So-phia to bring students together toldquobe visionary about how we can bemore proactive about building re-

lationships across the communityand identifying things that matterto all of us that we can work to-gether to have an impact onrdquo

One of those common pointsis the necessity of helping othersldquoItrsquos something that pervades allthe faith backgrounds that wersquovelooked intordquo said Elizabeth Balgaone of Georgia Techrsquos delegates tothe ILI and director of MOVE

Techrsquos volunteer organizationShe explained that she 1047297nds thiscommon point inspiring sinceinterfaith community service issomething shersquos very interestedin bringing about ldquoTatlsquos what I

would want to see people havingdialogue and then acting on thedialogue and using it as a platformto do good for both our campusand Atlantardquo Elizabeth said

Tese opportunities for dis-course arenrsquot just being organizedby the students however A newcourse IAC 3803 will be off eredin the spring that will treat the in-teraction of diff erent worldviewsldquoI began to become aware of adesire on the part of students tohave a venue where they can talkabout the relationships betweenscience and engineering and reli-gion particularly in the contextof interfaith activitiesrdquo explainedDr John Cressler the electricalengineering professor organizingthe course Cressler came to thetopic of interfaith dialogue dur-ing his research for his historical1047297ction novels which are set inmedieval Spain during a period

of coexistence of Islamic Jewishand Christian communities Tecourse will be small and heavilydiscussion based with a large em-phasis on ethical implications thatadvances in science and engineer-ing bring to the world and howdiff erent world views might deal

Te art of waking up early $amp$ (amp$)

$amp($amp) +amp$

Are you waking up every morn-ing enumerating all the expletivesin the English language Do youleave breakfast wishing that yourcup could hold more coff ee Doyou even eat breakfast at all Forall the inconveniences that anearly morning lecture brings itis a necessary evil for those of us

who seriously messed up our reg-istration Luckily not all is lostHere are a number of things thatyou can do to make your 8 amlecture not just bearable but en-

joyable As Ben Franklin once said

ldquoEarly to bed and early to risemakes a man healthy wealthy and

wiserdquo Going to bed early must beone of the most underrated evenridiculed ideas on any collegecampus However the bene1047297tsof sleeping early are indisputableStudies have shown that people

who go to sleep earlier are lesslikely to become obese and havebetter heart health Te 1047297rst stepto preparing for an early morn-

ing is sleeping earlier and why wouldnrsquot you if it could improveyour physical health

Secondly it is very importantto use an alarm correctly Te 1047297rstrule to using an alarm is that ifyou snooze you lose Hitting thesnooze button is never a good ideabecause falling asleep after yoursquovealready been woken up is detri-mental to your bodyrsquos circadianrhythms Plus it is important to

get used to waking up with con-viction if you are going to have todo it for the entire semester

Next make sure you allowyourself adequate time to showerget dressed and grab breakfastTere is no point in making it to

lecture on time if yoursquore starvingand you smell like a zoo Finallyhere comes the fun part choos-ing the jams that you wake up toPersonally I chose the most god-awful song I could possibly 1047297ndon my iPhone so that Irsquod have nochoice but to get out of bed andshut the darn thing up A songthat you like works just as well sothat your alarm isnrsquot too jolting inthe morning

Te 1047297nal step to waking upearly is to 1047297nd a reason why youdo it Some of us signed up forthe 8 am lecture because of theprofessor we really wanted Try to1047297nd something positive that re-sults from waking up Maybe you

have more free time in the after-noon Perhaps you get to see thesun rise or feel the frosty air that

will be long gone when all yourfriends emerge from their dorms

Whatever it is waking up forthat 8 am class shou ld be a bless-ing not a curse If you stick close-ly to the tips above and followyour routine consistently yoursquollbe strolling into 1047297rst period witha giant smile in no time

that the course will be structuredaround diversity and re1047298ectionand would not be a space for pros-elytizing ldquoTe invitation for stu-dents is that they will get to knowtheir worldview much betterrdquoCressler said Cressler will per-sonally handle applications thatinterested students can request byemail

Supporting this initiative isthe IDEALS survey which waslaunched this year and was sentout to all 1047297rst year students Tesurvey intends to gather informa-tion about belief and attitude to-

ward religion among the studentbody Te aim is to 1047297nd out whatmight be done to improve the cli-

mate of interfaith dialogue ldquoItrsquosabout creating safe spaces for it tohappen and part of it is knowing

where our student body stands which is what this survey let usknowrdquo explained Dr GeromeStephens Director for the Of-1047297ce of Leadership and Civic En-gagement Follow up surveys willcome in the future to assess howattitudes change during onersquos timeat Tech

In March of this year ChefGuy Wong the restaurateur whodelivered Atlanta Asian fusion joints Miso Izakaya and YumBunz launched his third attemptat a hit restaurant Le Fat nestledamong countless other Westside restaurants and retail stores off ers Atlantans modestly priced Viet-namese food that is simple and well-executed

Just southwest of campus on

Marietta Street it is a manageable walk or a short Uber ride awayParking is available by valet or wherever possible as t here tend tobe open spots in the small lot be-hind Octane the coff ee shop

In the Great Gatsby F ScottFitzgerald remarks ldquoI like largeparties Teyrsquore so intimate Atsmall parties there isnrsquot any pri-vacyrdquo

Le Fat absolutely supports thisopinion the restaurant and all its

customers are captivated by a mu-tual energy Tere is nothing as-tonishing about the decor whichcould be improved but the smalldining room and closely arrangedtables bring another type of dy-namic mdash sound

Customers feel strangely com-fortable and happy with their fel-low restaurant-goers surroundingthem and laughing in an escapistmanner Loud restaurants can beirritating at times but its volumegives Le Fat a positive characteris-tic that makes the customersrsquo ex-perience much more fun

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

As an example of the serversrsquogood will Matthew a waiter lastSaturday walked through the

menu with a pescatarian custom-er outlining safe dishes and thosethat the cooks could modify with-out hesitation Te general hustleand bustle of the service sta ff givesthe dining room a busy vibe add-ing to the crazy high-tempo am-biance

Te ultimate objective of a res-taurant though is to serve superbfood and Le Fat does not let cus-tomers down by any means Tostart the bowl of phở broth at

only $3 is extremely a ff ordableand was smooth reserved anddelicious even without all the ricenoodles meat and herbs in a typi-cal bowl of phở

Te soft-shell BLT bun appe-tizer was n icely fried but proved tobe a bit overpowering when com-pared to the other delicate 1047298avorsof the steamed bun and the other1047297llers Te serverrsquos recommen-dation was the crowning jewel

though As an entree the clay potchicken achieves astounding lev-els of excellence

Te pot is brought to the tableand the server places it to lift thelid and overwhelm the guest withan immaculate fragrance Filled tothe brim with perfectly seasonedbeautifully cooked bite-sizedmorsels of chicken accompaniedby sauteacuteed onions peppers and aside of rice this dishrsquos simplicity

is what propels it to the next level Atlanta as a food Mecca

proves to be ever-expanding pro-viding new venue options everyyear (watch for the Ponce CityMarket food court openings)Tis year with Le Fat Guy Wongshows both his ability as a high-grade restaurateur and his culi-nary prowess as a chef a worthytrip for a magnetic atmosphereand fantastic food

As the clock struck noon onFriday Aug 28 Yellow Jacketfans swarmed into the OrsquoKeefeGymnasium to cheer on the vol-leyball team in their season open-er against the Siena Bulldogs

Tis was the teamrsquos 1047297rst matchin the two-day four-match invita-tional known as the Georgia TechCourtyard by Marriott AtlantaMidtown Invitational and the

Jackets were out for a victory Ledby off ense from juniors TeeganVan Gunst and Lauren Pitz who

both had 9 kills the team played with u nity and ferocity sweepingthe Bulldogs in three sets 25-1425-17 and 25-17

Later that day the Jackets weremet with a challenge they couldnot surmount In a match that

went into the 1047297fth set Tech wasupended by the Coastal CarolinaChanticleers Te Jackets won the1047297rst set 25-17 and appeared to beon their way to another victory

however in the second and thirdframes Tech looked unwontedstruggling to 1047297nd its rhythmTech narrowly evaded defeat inthe fourth leg of the match es-caping with a 25-23 win but in a1047297fteen-point 1047297fth set the Chanti-cleers caught 1047297re winning the set15-9 and the match 3-2

A 1047297ve-set match would nothave been possible were it notfor the performances of the VanGunst twins juniors Teeganand Annika who both had hugematches

ldquoWe feed off each otherrsquos ener-gyrdquo T Van Gunst said ldquoWe pickeach other up when wersquore downand celebrate together in the goodmomentsrdquo

To this response the stats serveas evidence Annika had 13 killsand 13 digs while Teegan amassed22 kills and 13 digs Tough los-ing is never easy the Jackets werenot enervated by the defeat

ldquoWe just have to get past thisone and move on to the next twothis weekendrdquo T Van Gunst sa id

And move on they did Inthe two Saturday matches Tech

played with a vendetta embar-rassing their two opponents by apoint total of 150-80

In their noon contest againstUT-Martin the Jackets exercisedmore precision and volition thanthey did in their match versusCoastal Carolina limiting them-selves to only eleven errors Enroute to thumping the Skyhawks

junior London Ackerman pro-vided 1047297ve aces while sophomore

Sydney Wilson was mimicked by Annika as they contributed 11kills apiece

If hunger for redemption wasthe motivation for the UT-Martinmatch it was the status quo forthe Citadel match as Tech playedevery point with an edge Junior

Ashley Askinrsquos performance wasparticularly compelling as sheracked up 11 kills and 10 digs

throughout the match Sweep-ing the Bulldogs to wrap up theinvitational the Jackets now 1047297ndthemselves with a 3-1 record andan entire season ahead of them-selves Moving forward the Jack-ets look to do as all great teamshave done and turn this earlyseason momentum into a year in

which the Tech volleyball team will be remembered

My roommates blast a lot ofbubblegum pop in our apart-ment the kind of vapid auto-tune that shrivels hipstersrsquo earsand makes the geriatrics sayldquoWhy do kidslisten to that gar-bagerdquo

Tere aresongs we haveplayed so of-

ten the lyricsare etched intoour walls Halfof these songs Ilike and will singalong to occa-sionally in keyTe other half confuse me

A recurring pattern exists when it comes to music and ag-ing around age thirteen peopletend to start out with basic Top40 hits and then in their lateteens and twenties they branchout into other genres Musicaltastes peak in the late twentiesand stagnate just afterwardsmdash according to Spotify userscease adding new artists to theirlistening patterns around age33 After age 33 Top 40 hits

become a foreign language onlythe youngsters speakI am already at the point

where I do not recognize halfof what sits on the charts but Ihave 1047297nally gotten to where it nolonger bothers me Like every-one who goes to college I haveless and less in common withmy high school self each day in-cluding the fact that I no longerfake having a good taste in mu-sic In high school staying cur-rent in music whether with TopHits or underground artists soindie you could make up a bandname was almost a requirementif you wanted to function so-cially I pretended to like bands whose names sounded like ran-dom word assortments read off

of Scrabble and pop artists who

replaced a letter of their name with some kind of punctuationmark In college nobody caresMusic has diverged so thor-oughly that only listening to

one genre is likeonly reading onepage of a bookOne of the bestparts about col-lege is that you

are introducedto so many newpeople who willintroduce you tonew artists andsongs you prob-ably would not

have stumbled upon otherwise You can switch on WREK radioor pop over to Under the Couchto hear something diff erent Youcan stumble through music fes-tivals or be a face in the crowdat the Homecoming concertStreaming sites pair you up with genres like an audio speeddating service and before youknow it your iTunes library hastripled in size Spotify even hasDiscover Weekly where theirservice will compare songs you

like and create a new playlist foryou every week You can evenmingle with local artists on At-lantarsquos underground music sceneand connect with college-ageartists and smaller bands Tereis no point in holding onto onegenre or falling into a concretehabit Tere is no need to feelproud that you are the only per-son on the planet who listens toa certain indie band and there isno reason to fake a good taste inmusic because it no longer mat-ters who you listen to

So when my roommatesblast something catchy andautotuned and I have no idea what the song is or who it isby I sit back and listen andam thankful that I have years

Being a vegetarian isnrsquot reallythat hard nowadays I remember

when I was younger my familyand I would go on road tripsand wersquod stop in the middleof nowhere forfood and strug-gle to 1047297nd some-thing other thanfries and a salad

Now we just

stop at a TacoBell or SubwayI still rememberthe 1047297rst time I

walked into aTaco Bell and

was blown awayby the sheer number of op-tions I had replace anything

with beans Taco Bell was veg-etarian fast food paradise andquite frankly still is Irsquove no-ticed that a rising number ofnice restaurants are off eringmore vegetarian options be it agood veggie burger or just reallygood pasta but therersquos still a lagin the world of fast food

I bring up fast food becauseitrsquos the most convenient foodespecially for college students

See the thing is cooking is mybest bet as a vegetarian butsometimes I just donrsquot want tocook I also donrsquot want some-thing so fancy I have to lookdecent and I donrsquot want to wa itfor my food I want somethingquick and easy something witha drive through Burger Kinghas its veggie burger and Chick-Fil-A has its wraps but thereare so many other restaurantsthat could have more

For example McDonaldrsquosis not ideal for a vegetariantheyrsquove got fries a salad andsome breakfast items but noveggie burger In other coun-tries theyrsquove customized speci1047297cbrands to the countriesrsquo tastesIn India McDonaldrsquos has ma-

sala patties and plenty of other

vegetarian options Irsquom notasking for a masala pattie butit would be nice to have a de-cent black bean burger I wantto be able to say Irsquove eaten a

Big Mac Sure it would be vege-tarian but it justseems like one ofthose formativeexperiences

Ask any veg-etarian they willtell you that op-tions have signif-icantly improvedover the last de-cade and there

are some pretty delicious meatsubstitute products out there

Food has always been alarge part of my life and thereis very little I love more thansharing a meal with the peopleI care about Irsquod like to be ableto do that without restraintI donrsquot want to have to go toMcDonaldrsquos and have a po-tato party by myself whileeveryone else is digging into theirburgers or go to Chick-Fil-Aand eat a cold wrap while people

are eating warm chicken sand- wiches I want to be able to eatsomething substantial and sat-isfying without having to crossmy 1047297ngers and hope that thefast food restaurant wersquore go-ing to has more than saladfor vegetarians

So why is it that there arestill so few fast food chains

with decent vegetarian optionsI get that the eating options inan area are in1047298uenced by anarearsquos culture and I also under-stand that accommodate thatculture isnrsquot the easiest thingBut I also see that the demograph-ic of these areas are changing Asa result I think that businessesincluding restaurants shouldre1047298ect the wants and needs of

their consumers

Fast foods should catermore to vegetarians

are off ering more

Te main problem with cableand satellite services is that mostcustomers end up paying for waymore content than what theyactually want Te customershave to buy channels in pack-ages at a high price but usuallyleave most of those channels un- watched On top of that theyhave to sit through commercialbreaks that seem to be longerand occur more frequently thanever before Contrast that expe-rience with watching a show onNet1047298ix or even Hulu Net1047298ixhas no commercials at all whileHulursquos breaks are de1047297nitely

shorter than the ones on TVPlus both services off er instantstreaming of a wide assortment

of content and have a better se-lection than what any cable orsatellite on-demand service canoff er

Services such as Sling TV areattempting to solve the problemof paying for unwanted contentby off ering their channels ldquoa lacarterdquo Consumers can pay formuch more specialized chan-nel packages at a much lowerprice than other providers andbe able to stream their contentacross multiple types of devices While this i s a step in the rightdirection it is still not as ben-e1047297cial to the consumer as beingable to choose individual chan-

nels or even stream individualprograms at an even lower cost At this point the only use

I have for a cable service is for watching live sports As a bigcollege football and hockey fanif I were to ditch cable I wouldnot be able to watch the vast ma-

jority of the games I want to seeVirtually every NHL game is oncable and only a small percent-age of college football games arebroadcast over the air

However I predict that thissituation will not persist formuch longer Sports leagues areslowly realizing the potentialand consumerrsquos preference instreaming content Hopefullythey will make more of theirgames available online and

customers can receive the sameviewing experience throughtheir internet connection that

they have known for yearsthrough their TV at a fractionof the cost (or even for free)

Related to the sports issuethe current system of contentdelivery for the professionalleagues is outdated and unfairSpeci1047297cally the limitations on

watching out of market gamesare arbitrary and detrimentalto the fans As an example Iam from Boston and a fan ofall their teams but I obviouslylive in Atlanta for school NFLgames are broadcast over the airfor free but each game is onlyavailable in certain markets IfI want to watch my Patriots onSunday afternoons the NFLdemands that I sign up for Di-recTV so that I can use theirexpensive NFL Sunday Ticketservice Instead of watching forfree I would have to pay $240($15 per game) to see my teamsimply because I live in a diff er-ent area of the country In anage where streaming services areat an all-time high these archa-ic policies simply do not makesense Hopefully in the near

future we will see more contentcreators make their works moreeasily accessible to everyone

Old cable needs to get with the timesldquo more of the younger

generation is deciding to

lsquocut the cordrsquo choosing

After nine long months myNew Yearrsquos resolution is still ontrack to be complete come Janu-ary Rather than promise to lose20 pounds gain 20 pounds or1047297nally read a book I decided onsomething that was actually at-tainable to try one new thingevery month Since making thatdecision I have become an avidkickboxer an unsuccessful blog-ger and a lover of the spicy chickensandwich Last month however Iraised the stakes to a new high I

went on my 1047297rst Tinder dateTe preparation for this task

was a feat in and of itself I had totake pictures with my dog comeup with a clever bio and carry outthe long and shallow process ofswiping After three arduous daysof questioning my motherrsquos assess-ment of my devilishly good looksand boyish charm the matchesslowly started coming in

All of the girls I met on Tinder

were perfectly normalT

ere weresporty blondes bookish brunettesand everything in between Some-

where in that spectrum thoughthere was Emily (whose name hasbeen changed in order to protecther identity)

Emily like many of my match-es 1047297t all of my requirements she

was a human female She was alsocute and she laughed at my jokesI thought I had found exactly

what I was look ing for I set up adate put on some real clothes andheaded into what proved to be oneof the most interesting afternoonsof my lifeTe beginning of the date was

exactly as I had expected it to beSiblings majors and television

were discussed and my mind was

able to paint a general picture of

this girl that was a stranger twohours prior It wasnrsquot until anoff hand remark about her namehowever that things took an in-teresting turn

One simple request ldquoDonrsquotGoogle my namerdquo sent my imagi-nation into overdrive Was I shar-ing a delicious pizza with a crimi-nal A low-key Olympic athlete

A closet porn star perhaps Mycuriosity overcame my obedienceand during a short trip to the

bathroom the least exciting of mythree possibilities was con1047297rmedStaring back from my phonescreen was Emily wearing an or-ange jumpsuit and an acrid scowl

She was very nice and we werehaving a great time so I felt noneed to press her for detai ls on hercriminal past Soon enough how-ever she sated my burning curios-ity and brought up the details ofher arrest I acted surprised whenshe told me she had been arrestedbut the look on my face when Iheard she was a drug dealer wasone of genuine shock

She had a Chaco tan was ob-sessed with ldquoTe Bachelorrdquo and

was studying mechanical engi-neering Needless to say she abso-lutely de1047297ed my schema of a drug

dealer Almost one month prior

to our date she was in handcuff s(not unlike the kind yoursquod usuallysee on a Tinder date) and in theback of a police car

But Emilyrsquos tale began monthsbefore that when life began serv-ing her a series of uncontrollablecircumstances She lost her moth-er was forced to forgo her collegeplans in order to stay local and

worked two jobs to support her-self Irsquom not condoning the sale ofdrugs but I believe she was justi-1047297

ed in feeling overwhelmed We 1047297nally 1047297nished our pizzaafter three hours of stories tearsand laughs and I drove homethoroughly satis1047297ed with my Tin-der experience Rather than lookat every criminal as the embodi-ment of their bad choices I nowunderstand that they could simplybe victims of circumstance

Most importantly I decidedthat everybody needs to go ona Tinder date before they die Itprovides you with the perspec-tive of a complete stranger andputs you in a situation that you

would otherwise never experi-ence Tere are certainly risks in-volved with Tinder but if you useit right you could be eating pizza

with a criminal and having the

time of your life

Swipe lef on judgements and

right on new perspectivesldquoEmily like many of my

matches fit all of my

requirements she was a

human femalerdquo

In the backdrop of a techni-cal university Tech is a campusrich in its world views thanks toits mix of cultures and religionsfrom around the world Many ofthe students here at Tech are ableto engage with those of similarbeliefs religious or otherwisethanks to the plethora of faith-based organizations Tis createsan opportunity for interfaith dia-logue mdash an opportunity beingused by students and sta ff fromvarious walks of Tech life Teseindividualsrsquo eff orts have led to thecreation of panels classes and sur-veys to help create an environmentbased on cooperation and under-standing at Tech

Many students have gottenactively involved in stimulatinginterfaith discussion on campusldquoI would say that Georgia Techis pretty comfortable with di-versityrdquo said Sophia Rashid arecent Tech graduate with a de-gree in International A ff airs ldquoAtthe same time I feel like we donrsquot

necessarily engage that diver-sity because we sort of take it forgranted I think that we see eachother a lot but we donrsquot necessar-ily know each otherrdquo

Earlier this year Sophia along with four other Tech studentsattended the Interfaith Leader-ship Institute (ILI) a programintended to equip students to

work with diverse religious andnon-religious identities on their

own campuses Tose same 1047297veattendees came back to Tech andorganized Better Together Day

where about forty students andsta ff came to listen and speak onfaith and belief Sophia explainedthat shersquod advise everyone to en-gage with those of other faiths

ldquoDonrsquot be afraid to share whoyou are and to seek to connect

with people on a deep level Itrsquos

stunning how much people whoare diff erent can really strengtheneach other and inspire each otherand do good togetherrdquo SophiasaidTe ILI is an event organized

by the Interfaith Youth Core whose goal is according to So-phia to bring students together toldquobe visionary about how we can bemore proactive about building re-

lationships across the communityand identifying things that matterto all of us that we can work to-gether to have an impact onrdquo

One of those common pointsis the necessity of helping othersldquoItrsquos something that pervades allthe faith backgrounds that wersquovelooked intordquo said Elizabeth Balgaone of Georgia Techrsquos delegates tothe ILI and director of MOVE

Techrsquos volunteer organizationShe explained that she 1047297nds thiscommon point inspiring sinceinterfaith community service issomething shersquos very interestedin bringing about ldquoTatlsquos what I

would want to see people havingdialogue and then acting on thedialogue and using it as a platformto do good for both our campusand Atlantardquo Elizabeth said

Tese opportunities for dis-course arenrsquot just being organizedby the students however A newcourse IAC 3803 will be off eredin the spring that will treat the in-teraction of diff erent worldviewsldquoI began to become aware of adesire on the part of students tohave a venue where they can talkabout the relationships betweenscience and engineering and reli-gion particularly in the contextof interfaith activitiesrdquo explainedDr John Cressler the electricalengineering professor organizingthe course Cressler came to thetopic of interfaith dialogue dur-ing his research for his historical1047297ction novels which are set inmedieval Spain during a period

of coexistence of Islamic Jewishand Christian communities Tecourse will be small and heavilydiscussion based with a large em-phasis on ethical implications thatadvances in science and engineer-ing bring to the world and howdiff erent world views might deal

with those implications Speci1047297cdetails are available on Cresslerrsquos

Te art of waking up early $amp$ (amp$)

$amp($amp) +amp$

Are you waking up every morn-ing enumerating all the expletivesin the English language Do youleave breakfast wishing that yourcup could hold more coff ee Doyou even eat breakfast at all Forall the inconveniences that anearly morning lecture brings itis a necessary evil for those of us

who seriously messed up our reg-istration Luckily not all is lostHere are a number of things thatyou can do to make your 8 amlecture not just bearable but en-

joyable As Ben Franklin once said

ldquoEarly to bed and early to risemakes a man healthy wealthy and

wiserdquo Going to bed early must beone of the most underrated evenridiculed ideas on any collegecampus However the bene1047297tsof sleeping early are indisputableStudies have shown that people

who go to sleep earlier are lesslikely to become obese and havebetter heart health Te 1047297rst stepto preparing for an early morn-

ing is sleeping earlier and why wouldnrsquot you if it could improveyour physical health

Secondly it is very importantto use an alarm correctly Te 1047297rstrule to using an alarm is that ifyou snooze you lose Hitting thesnooze button is never a good ideabecause falling asleep after yoursquovealready been woken up is detri-mental to your bodyrsquos circadianrhythms Plus it is important to

get used to waking up with con-viction if you are going to have todo it for the entire semester

Next make sure you allowyourself adequate time to showerget dressed and grab breakfastTere is no point in making it to

lecture on time if yoursquore starvingand you smell like a zoo Finallyhere comes the fun part choos-ing the jams that you wake up toPersonally I chose the most god-awful song I could possibly 1047297ndon my iPhone so that Irsquod have nochoice but to get out of bed andshut the darn thing up A songthat you like works just as well sothat your alarm isnrsquot too jolting inthe morning

Te 1047297nal step to waking upearly is to 1047297nd a reason why youdo it Some of us signed up forthe 8 am lecture because of theprofessor we really wanted Try to1047297nd something positive that re-sults from waking up Maybe you

have more free time in the after-noon Perhaps you get to see thesun rise or feel the frosty air that

will be long gone when all yourfriends emerge from their dorms

Whatever it is waking up forthat 8 am class shou ld be a bless-ing not a curse If you stick close-ly to the tips above and followyour routine consistently yoursquollbe strolling into 1047297rst period witha giant smile in no time

that the course will be structuredaround diversity and re1047298ectionand would not be a space for pros-elytizing ldquoTe invitation for stu-dents is that they will get to knowtheir worldview much betterrdquoCressler said Cressler will per-sonally handle applications thatinterested students can request byemail

Supporting this initiative isthe IDEALS survey which waslaunched this year and was sentout to all 1047297rst year students Tesurvey intends to gather informa-tion about belief and attitude to-

ward religion among the studentbody Te aim is to 1047297nd out whatmight be done to improve the cli-

mate of interfaith dialogue ldquoItrsquosabout creating safe spaces for it tohappen and part of it is knowing

where our student body stands which is what this survey let usknowrdquo explained Dr GeromeStephens Director for the Of-1047297ce of Leadership and Civic En-gagement Follow up surveys willcome in the future to assess howattitudes change during onersquos timeat Tech

With so much going on aroundcampus therersquos a lot for studentsto get involved in Tose inter-ested can contact Dean StephanieRay who is the Director of Diver-sity Programs or Sarah Perkins ofthe Office of Leadership and CivicManagement for more informa-tion

In March of this year ChefGuy Wong the restaurateur whodelivered Atlanta Asian fusion joints Miso Izakaya and YumBunz launched his third attemptat a hit restaurant Le Fat nestledamong countless other Westside restaurants and retail stores off ers Atlantans modestly priced Viet-namese food that is simple and well-executed

Just southwest of campus on

Marietta Street it is a manageable walk or a short Uber ride awayParking is available by valet or wherever possible as t here tend tobe open spots in the small lot be-hind Octane the coff ee shop

In the Great Gatsby F ScottFitzgerald remarks ldquoI like largeparties Teyrsquore so intimate Atsmall parties there isnrsquot any pri-vacyrdquo

Le Fat absolutely supports thisopinion the restaurant and all its

customers are captivated by a mu-tual energy Tere is nothing as-tonishing about the decor whichcould be improved but the smalldining room and closely arrangedtables bring another type of dy-namic mdash sound

Customers feel strangely com-fortable and happy with their fel-low restaurant-goers surroundingthem and laughing in an escapistmanner Loud restaurants can beirritating at times but its volumegives Le Fat a positive characteris-tic that makes the customersrsquo ex-perience much more fun

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

As an example of the serversrsquogood will Matthew a waiter lastSaturday walked through the

menu with a pescatarian custom-er outlining safe dishes and thosethat the cooks could modify with-out hesitation Te general hustleand bustle of the service sta ff givesthe dining room a busy vibe add-ing to the crazy high-tempo am-biance

Te ultimate objective of a res-taurant though is to serve superbfood and Le Fat does not let cus-tomers down by any means Tostart the bowl of phở broth at

only $3 is extremely a ff ordableand was smooth reserved anddelicious even without all the ricenoodles meat and herbs in a typi-cal bowl of phở

Te soft-shell BLT bun appe-tizer was n icely fried but proved tobe a bit overpowering when com-pared to the other delicate 1047298avorsof the steamed bun and the other1047297llers Te serverrsquos recommen-dation was the crowning jewel

though As an entree the clay potchicken achieves astounding lev-els of excellence

Te pot is brought to the tableand the server places it to lift thelid and overwhelm the guest withan immaculate fragrance Filled tothe brim with perfectly seasonedbeautifully cooked bite-sizedmorsels of chicken accompaniedby sauteacuteed onions peppers and aside of rice this dishrsquos simplicity

is what propels it to the next level Atlanta as a food Mecca

proves to be ever-expanding pro-viding new venue options everyyear (watch for the Ponce CityMarket food court openings)Tis year with Le Fat Guy Wongshows both his ability as a high-grade restaurateur and his culi-nary prowess as a chef a worthytrip for a magnetic atmosphereand fantastic food

Te Tech volleyball teamcoming off a 13-18 eff ort last sea-son has better intentions for theirsecond season under head coachMichelle Collier A Brazil nativeCoach Collier came to Tech lastseason after she took an impres-sive Jacksonville University Dol-phinrsquos team to the NCAA Tour-nament In her 1047297rst year as coachfor the Jackets the team showedimprovements from the previousseason in every statistical categoryand they to do the same this year

As the clock struck noon onFriday Aug 28 Yellow Jacketfans swarmed into the OrsquoKeefeGymnasium to cheer on the vol-leyball team in their season open-er against the Siena Bulldogs

Tis was the teamrsquos 1047297rst matchin the two-day four-match invita-tional known as the Georgia TechCourtyard by Marriott AtlantaMidtown Invitational and the

Jackets were out for a victory Ledby off ense from juniors TeeganVan Gunst and Lauren Pitz who

both had 9 kills the team played with u nity and ferocity sweepingthe Bulldogs in three sets 25-1425-17 and 25-17

Later that day the Jackets weremet with a challenge they couldnot surmount In a match that

went into the 1047297fth set Tech wasupended by the Coastal CarolinaChanticleers Te Jackets won the1047297rst set 25-17 and appeared to beon their way to another victory

however in the second and thirdframes Tech looked unwontedstruggling to 1047297nd its rhythmTech narrowly evaded defeat inthe fourth leg of the match es-caping with a 25-23 win but in a1047297fteen-point 1047297fth set the Chanti-cleers caught 1047297re winning the set15-9 and the match 3-2

A 1047297ve-set match would nothave been possible were it notfor the performances of the VanGunst twins juniors Teeganand Annika who both had hugematches

ldquoWe feed off each otherrsquos ener-gyrdquo T Van Gunst said ldquoWe pickeach other up when wersquore downand celebrate together in the goodmomentsrdquo

To this response the stats serveas evidence Annika had 13 killsand 13 digs while Teegan amassed22 kills and 13 digs Tough los-ing is never easy the Jackets werenot enervated by the defeat

ldquoWe just have to get past thisone and move on to the next twothis weekendrdquo T Van Gunst sa id

And move on they did Inthe two Saturday matches Tech

played with a vendetta embar-rassing their two opponents by apoint total of 150-80

In their noon contest againstUT-Martin the Jackets exercisedmore precision and volition thanthey did in their match versusCoastal Carolina limiting them-selves to only eleven errors Enroute to thumping the Skyhawks

junior London Ackerman pro-vided 1047297ve aces while sophomore

Sydney Wilson was mimicked by Annika as they contributed 11kills apiece

If hunger for redemption wasthe motivation for the UT-Martinmatch it was the status quo forthe Citadel match as Tech playedevery point with an edge Junior

Ashley Askinrsquos performance wasparticularly compelling as sheracked up 11 kills and 10 digs

throughout the match Sweep-ing the Bulldogs to wrap up theinvitational the Jackets now 1047297ndthemselves with a 3-1 record andan entire season ahead of them-selves Moving forward the Jack-ets look to do as all great teamshave done and turn this earlyseason momentum into a year in

which the Tech volleyball team will be remembered

After nine long months myNew Yearrsquos resolution is still ontrack to be complete come Janu-ary Rather than promise to lose20 pounds gain 20 pounds or1047297nally read a book I decided onsomething that was actually at-tainable to try one new thingevery month Since making thatdecision I have become an avidkickboxer an unsuccessful blog-ger and a lover of the spicy chickensandwich Last month however Iraised the stakes to a new high I

went on my 1047297rst Tinder dateTe preparation for this task

was a feat in and of itself I had totake pictures with my dog comeup with a clever bio and carry outthe long and shallow process ofswiping After three arduous daysof questioning my motherrsquos assess-ment of my devilishly good looksand boyish charm the matchesslowly started coming in

All of the girls I met on Tinder

were perfectly normalT

ere weresporty blondes bookish brunettesand everything in between Some-

where in that spectrum thoughthere was Emily (whose name hasbeen changed in order to protecther identity)

Emily like many of my match-es 1047297t all of my requirements she

was a human female She was alsocute and she laughed at my jokesI thought I had found exactly

what I was look ing for I set up adate put on some real clothes andheaded into what proved to be oneof the most interesting afternoonsof my lifeTe beginning of the date was

exactly as I had expected it to beSiblings majors and television

were discussed and my mind was

able to paint a general picture of

this girl that was a stranger twohours prior It wasnrsquot until anoff hand remark about her namehowever that things took an in-teresting turn

One simple request ldquoDonrsquotGoogle my namerdquo sent my imagi-nation into overdrive Was I shar-ing a delicious pizza with a crimi-nal A low-key Olympic athlete

A closet porn star perhaps Mycuriosity overcame my obedienceand during a short trip to the

bathroom the least exciting of mythree possibilities was con1047297rmedStaring back from my phonescreen was Emily wearing an or-ange jumpsuit and an acrid scowl

She was very nice and we werehaving a great time so I felt noneed to press her for detai ls on hercriminal past Soon enough how-ever she sated my burning curios-ity and brought up the details ofher arrest I acted surprised whenshe told me she had been arrestedbut the look on my face when Iheard she was a drug dealer wasone of genuine shock

She had a Chaco tan was ob-sessed with ldquoTe Bachelorrdquo and

was studying mechanical engi-neering Needless to say she abso-lutely de1047297ed my schema of a drug

dealer Almost one month prior

to our date she was in handcuff s(not unlike the kind yoursquod usuallysee on a Tinder date) and in theback of a police car

But Emilyrsquos tale began monthsbefore that when life began serv-ing her a series of uncontrollablecircumstances She lost her moth-er was forced to forgo her collegeplans in order to stay local and

worked two jobs to support her-self Irsquom not condoning the sale ofdrugs but I believe she was justi-1047297

ed in feeling overwhelmed We 1047297nally 1047297nished our pizzaafter three hours of stories tearsand laughs and I drove homethoroughly satis1047297ed with my Tin-der experience Rather than lookat every criminal as the embodi-ment of their bad choices I nowunderstand that they could simplybe victims of circumstance

Most importantly I decidedthat everybody needs to go ona Tinder date before they die Itprovides you with the perspec-tive of a complete stranger andputs you in a situation that you

would otherwise never experi-ence Tere are certainly risks in-volved with Tinder but if you useit right you could be eating pizza

with a criminal and having the

time of your life

Swipe lef on judgements and

right on new perspectivesldquoEmily like many of my

matches fit all of my

requirements she was a

In the backdrop of a techni-cal university Tech is a campusrich in its world views thanks toits mix of cultures and religionsfrom around the world Many ofthe students here at Tech are ableto engage with those of similarbeliefs religious or otherwisethanks to the plethora of faith-based organizations Tis createsan opportunity for interfaith dia-logue mdash an opportunity beingused by students and sta ff fromvarious walks of Tech life Teseindividualsrsquo eff orts have led to thecreation of panels classes and sur-veys to help create an environmentbased on cooperation and under-standing at Tech

Many students have gottenactively involved in stimulatinginterfaith discussion on campusldquoI would say that Georgia Techis pretty comfortable with di-versityrdquo said Sophia Rashid arecent Tech graduate with a de-gree in International A ff airs ldquoAtthe same time I feel like we donrsquot

necessarily engage that diver-sity because we sort of take it forgranted I think that we see eachother a lot but we donrsquot necessar-ily know each otherrdquo

Earlier this year Sophia along with four other Tech studentsattended the Interfaith Leader-ship Institute (ILI) a programintended to equip students to

work with diverse religious andnon-religious identities on their

own campuses Tose same 1047297veattendees came back to Tech andorganized Better Together Day

where about forty students andsta ff came to listen and speak onfaith and belief Sophia explainedthat shersquod advise everyone to en-gage with those of other faiths

ldquoDonrsquot be afraid to share whoyou are and to seek to connect

with people on a deep level Itrsquos

stunning how much people whoare diff erent can really strengtheneach other and inspire each otherand do good togetherrdquo SophiasaidTe ILI is an event organized

by the Interfaith Youth Core whose goal is according to So-phia to bring students together toldquobe visionary about how we can bemore proactive about building re-

lationships across the communityand identifying things that matterto all of us that we can work to-gether to have an impact onrdquo

One of those common pointsis the necessity of helping othersldquoItrsquos something that pervades allthe faith backgrounds that wersquovelooked intordquo said Elizabeth Balgaone of Georgia Techrsquos delegates tothe ILI and director of MOVE

Techrsquos volunteer organizationShe explained that she 1047297nds thiscommon point inspiring sinceinterfaith community service issomething shersquos very interestedin bringing about ldquoTatlsquos what I

would want to see people havingdialogue and then acting on thedialogue and using it as a platformto do good for both our campusand Atlantardquo Elizabeth said

Tese opportunities for dis-course arenrsquot just being organizedby the students however A newcourse IAC 3803 will be off eredin the spring that will treat the in-teraction of diff erent worldviewsldquoI began to become aware of adesire on the part of students tohave a venue where they can talkabout the relationships betweenscience and engineering and reli-gion particularly in the contextof interfaith activitiesrdquo explainedDr John Cressler the electricalengineering professor organizingthe course Cressler came to thetopic of interfaith dialogue dur-ing his research for his historical1047297ction novels which are set inmedieval Spain during a period

of coexistence of Islamic Jewishand Christian communities Tecourse will be small and heavilydiscussion based with a large em-phasis on ethical implications thatadvances in science and engineer-ing bring to the world and howdiff erent world views might deal

Te art of waking up early $amp$ (amp$)

$amp($amp) +amp$

Are you waking up every morn-ing enumerating all the expletivesin the English language Do youleave breakfast wishing that yourcup could hold more coff ee Doyou even eat breakfast at all Forall the inconveniences that anearly morning lecture brings itis a necessary evil for those of us

who seriously messed up our reg-istration Luckily not all is lostHere are a number of things thatyou can do to make your 8 amlecture not just bearable but en-

joyable As Ben Franklin once said

ldquoEarly to bed and early to risemakes a man healthy wealthy and

wiserdquo Going to bed early must beone of the most underrated evenridiculed ideas on any collegecampus However the bene1047297tsof sleeping early are indisputableStudies have shown that people

who go to sleep earlier are lesslikely to become obese and havebetter heart health Te 1047297rst stepto preparing for an early morn-

ing is sleeping earlier and why wouldnrsquot you if it could improveyour physical health

Secondly it is very importantto use an alarm correctly Te 1047297rstrule to using an alarm is that ifyou snooze you lose Hitting thesnooze button is never a good ideabecause falling asleep after yoursquovealready been woken up is detri-mental to your bodyrsquos circadianrhythms Plus it is important to

get used to waking up with con-viction if you are going to have todo it for the entire semester

Next make sure you allowyourself adequate time to showerget dressed and grab breakfastTere is no point in making it to

lecture on time if yoursquore starvingand you smell like a zoo Finallyhere comes the fun part choos-ing the jams that you wake up toPersonally I chose the most god-awful song I could possibly 1047297ndon my iPhone so that Irsquod have nochoice but to get out of bed andshut the darn thing up A songthat you like works just as well sothat your alarm isnrsquot too jolting inthe morning

Te 1047297nal step to waking upearly is to 1047297nd a reason why youdo it Some of us signed up forthe 8 am lecture because of theprofessor we really wanted Try to1047297nd something positive that re-sults from waking up Maybe you

have more free time in the after-noon Perhaps you get to see thesun rise or feel the frosty air that

will be long gone when all yourfriends emerge from their dorms

Whatever it is waking up forthat 8 am class shou ld be a bless-ing not a curse If you stick close-ly to the tips above and followyour routine consistently yoursquollbe strolling into 1047297rst period witha giant smile in no time

that the course will be structuredaround diversity and re1047298ectionand would not be a space for pros-elytizing ldquoTe invitation for stu-dents is that they will get to knowtheir worldview much betterrdquoCressler said Cressler will per-sonally handle applications thatinterested students can request byemail

Supporting this initiative isthe IDEALS survey which waslaunched this year and was sentout to all 1047297rst year students Tesurvey intends to gather informa-tion about belief and attitude to-

ward religion among the studentbody Te aim is to 1047297nd out whatmight be done to improve the cli-

mate of interfaith dialogue ldquoItrsquosabout creating safe spaces for it tohappen and part of it is knowing

where our student body stands which is what this survey let usknowrdquo explained Dr GeromeStephens Director for the Of-1047297ce of Leadership and Civic En-gagement Follow up surveys willcome in the future to assess howattitudes change during onersquos timeat Tech

In March of this year ChefGuy Wong the restaurateur whodelivered Atlanta Asian fusion joints Miso Izakaya and YumBunz launched his third attemptat a hit restaurant Le Fat nestledamong countless other Westside restaurants and retail stores off ers Atlantans modestly priced Viet-namese food that is simple and well-executed

Just southwest of campus on

Marietta Street it is a manageable walk or a short Uber ride awayParking is available by valet or wherever possible as t here tend tobe open spots in the small lot be-hind Octane the coff ee shop

In the Great Gatsby F ScottFitzgerald remarks ldquoI like largeparties Teyrsquore so intimate Atsmall parties there isnrsquot any pri-vacyrdquo

Le Fat absolutely supports thisopinion the restaurant and all its

customers are captivated by a mu-tual energy Tere is nothing as-tonishing about the decor whichcould be improved but the smalldining room and closely arrangedtables bring another type of dy-namic mdash sound

Customers feel strangely com-fortable and happy with their fel-low restaurant-goers surroundingthem and laughing in an escapistmanner Loud restaurants can beirritating at times but its volumegives Le Fat a positive characteris-tic that makes the customersrsquo ex-perience much more fun

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

As an example of the serversrsquogood will Matthew a waiter lastSaturday walked through the

menu with a pescatarian custom-er outlining safe dishes and thosethat the cooks could modify with-out hesitation Te general hustleand bustle of the service sta ff givesthe dining room a busy vibe add-ing to the crazy high-tempo am-biance

Te ultimate objective of a res-taurant though is to serve superbfood and Le Fat does not let cus-tomers down by any means Tostart the bowl of phở broth at

only $3 is extremely a ff ordableand was smooth reserved anddelicious even without all the ricenoodles meat and herbs in a typi-cal bowl of phở

Te soft-shell BLT bun appe-tizer was n icely fried but proved tobe a bit overpowering when com-pared to the other delicate 1047298avorsof the steamed bun and the other1047297llers Te serverrsquos recommen-dation was the crowning jewel

though As an entree the clay potchicken achieves astounding lev-els of excellence

Te pot is brought to the tableand the server places it to lift thelid and overwhelm the guest withan immaculate fragrance Filled tothe brim with perfectly seasonedbeautifully cooked bite-sizedmorsels of chicken accompaniedby sauteacuteed onions peppers and aside of rice this dishrsquos simplicity

is what propels it to the next level Atlanta as a food Mecca

proves to be ever-expanding pro-viding new venue options everyyear (watch for the Ponce CityMarket food court openings)Tis year with Le Fat Guy Wongshows both his ability as a high-grade restaurateur and his culi-nary prowess as a chef a worthytrip for a magnetic atmosphereand fantastic food

As the clock struck noon onFriday Aug 28 Yellow Jacketfans swarmed into the OrsquoKeefeGymnasium to cheer on the vol-leyball team in their season open-er against the Siena Bulldogs

Tis was the teamrsquos 1047297rst matchin the two-day four-match invita-tional known as the Georgia TechCourtyard by Marriott AtlantaMidtown Invitational and the

Jackets were out for a victory Ledby off ense from juniors TeeganVan Gunst and Lauren Pitz who

both had 9 kills the team played with u nity and ferocity sweepingthe Bulldogs in three sets 25-1425-17 and 25-17

Later that day the Jackets weremet with a challenge they couldnot surmount In a match that

went into the 1047297fth set Tech wasupended by the Coastal CarolinaChanticleers Te Jackets won the1047297rst set 25-17 and appeared to beon their way to another victory

however in the second and thirdframes Tech looked unwontedstruggling to 1047297nd its rhythmTech narrowly evaded defeat inthe fourth leg of the match es-caping with a 25-23 win but in a1047297fteen-point 1047297fth set the Chanti-cleers caught 1047297re winning the set15-9 and the match 3-2

A 1047297ve-set match would nothave been possible were it notfor the performances of the VanGunst twins juniors Teeganand Annika who both had hugematches

ldquoWe feed off each otherrsquos ener-gyrdquo T Van Gunst said ldquoWe pickeach other up when wersquore downand celebrate together in the goodmomentsrdquo

To this response the stats serveas evidence Annika had 13 killsand 13 digs while Teegan amassed22 kills and 13 digs Tough los-ing is never easy the Jackets werenot enervated by the defeat

ldquoWe just have to get past thisone and move on to the next twothis weekendrdquo T Van Gunst sa id

And move on they did Inthe two Saturday matches Tech

played with a vendetta embar-rassing their two opponents by apoint total of 150-80

In their noon contest againstUT-Martin the Jackets exercisedmore precision and volition thanthey did in their match versusCoastal Carolina limiting them-selves to only eleven errors Enroute to thumping the Skyhawks

junior London Ackerman pro-vided 1047297ve aces while sophomore

Sydney Wilson was mimicked by Annika as they contributed 11kills apiece

If hunger for redemption wasthe motivation for the UT-Martinmatch it was the status quo forthe Citadel match as Tech playedevery point with an edge Junior

Ashley Askinrsquos performance wasparticularly compelling as sheracked up 11 kills and 10 digs

throughout the match Sweep-ing the Bulldogs to wrap up theinvitational the Jackets now 1047297ndthemselves with a 3-1 record andan entire season ahead of them-selves Moving forward the Jack-ets look to do as all great teamshave done and turn this earlyseason momentum into a year in

which the Tech volleyball team will be remembered

In the backdrop of a techni-cal university Tech is a campusrich in its world views thanks toits mix of cultures and religionsfrom around the world Many ofthe students here at Tech are ableto engage with those of similarbeliefs religious or otherwisethanks to the plethora of faith-based organizations Tis createsan opportunity for interfaith dia-logue mdash an opportunity beingused by students and sta ff fromvarious walks of Tech life Teseindividualsrsquo eff orts have led to thecreation of panels classes and sur-veys to help create an environmentbased on cooperation and under-standing at Tech

Many students have gottenactively involved in stimulatinginterfaith discussion on campusldquoI would say that Georgia Techis pretty comfortable with di-versityrdquo said Sophia Rashid arecent Tech graduate with a de-gree in International A ff airs ldquoAtthe same time I feel like we donrsquot

necessarily engage that diver-sity because we sort of take it forgranted I think that we see eachother a lot but we donrsquot necessar-ily know each otherrdquo

Earlier this year Sophia along with four other Tech studentsattended the Interfaith Leader-ship Institute (ILI) a programintended to equip students to

work with diverse religious andnon-religious identities on their

own campuses Tose same 1047297veattendees came back to Tech andorganized Better Together Day

where about forty students andsta ff came to listen and speak onfaith and belief Sophia explainedthat shersquod advise everyone to en-gage with those of other faiths

ldquoDonrsquot be afraid to share whoyou are and to seek to connect

with people on a deep level Itrsquos

stunning how much people whoare diff erent can really strengtheneach other and inspire each otherand do good togetherrdquo SophiasaidTe ILI is an event organized

by the Interfaith Youth Core whose goal is according to So-phia to bring students together toldquobe visionary about how we can bemore proactive about building re-

lationships across the communityand identifying things that matterto all of us that we can work to-gether to have an impact onrdquo

One of those common pointsis the necessity of helping othersldquoItrsquos something that pervades allthe faith backgrounds that wersquovelooked intordquo said Elizabeth Balgaone of Georgia Techrsquos delegates tothe ILI and director of MOVE

Techrsquos volunteer organizationShe explained that she 1047297nds thiscommon point inspiring sinceinterfaith community service issomething shersquos very interestedin bringing about ldquoTatlsquos what I

would want to see people havingdialogue and then acting on thedialogue and using it as a platformto do good for both our campusand Atlantardquo Elizabeth said

Tese opportunities for dis-course arenrsquot just being organizedby the students however A newcourse IAC 3803 will be off eredin the spring that will treat the in-teraction of diff erent worldviewsldquoI began to become aware of adesire on the part of students tohave a venue where they can talkabout the relationships betweenscience and engineering and reli-gion particularly in the contextof interfaith activitiesrdquo explainedDr John Cressler the electricalengineering professor organizingthe course Cressler came to thetopic of interfaith dialogue dur-ing his research for his historical1047297ction novels which are set inmedieval Spain during a period

of coexistence of Islamic Jewishand Christian communities Tecourse will be small and heavilydiscussion based with a large em-phasis on ethical implications thatadvances in science and engineer-ing bring to the world and howdiff erent world views might deal

Secondly it is very importantto use an alarm correctly Te 1047297rstrule to using an alarm is that ifyou snooze you lose Hitting thesnooze button is never a good ideabecause falling asleep after yoursquovealready been woken up is detri-mental to your bodyrsquos circadianrhythms Plus it is important to

get used to waking up with con-viction if you are going to have todo it for the entire semester

Next make sure you allowyourself adequate time to showerget dressed and grab breakfastTere is no point in making it to

lecture on time if yoursquore starvingand you smell like a zoo Finallyhere comes the fun part choos-ing the jams that you wake up toPersonally I chose the most god-awful song I could possibly 1047297ndon my iPhone so that Irsquod have nochoice but to get out of bed andshut the darn thing up A songthat you like works just as well sothat your alarm isnrsquot too jolting inthe morning

Te 1047297nal step to waking upearly is to 1047297nd a reason why youdo it Some of us signed up forthe 8 am lecture because of theprofessor we really wanted Try to1047297nd something positive that re-sults from waking up Maybe you

have more free time in the after-noon Perhaps you get to see thesun rise or feel the frosty air that

will be long gone when all yourfriends emerge from their dorms

Whatever it is waking up forthat 8 am class shou ld be a bless-ing not a curse If you stick close-ly to the tips above and followyour routine consistently yoursquollbe strolling into 1047297rst period witha giant smile in no time

In March of this year ChefGuy Wong the restaurateur whodelivered Atlanta Asian fusion joints Miso Izakaya and YumBunz launched his third attemptat a hit restaurant Le Fat nestledamong countless other Westside restaurants and retail stores off ers Atlantans modestly priced Viet-namese food that is simple and well-executed

Just southwest of campus on

Marietta Street it is a manageable walk or a short Uber ride awayParking is available by valet or wherever possible as t here tend tobe open spots in the small lot be-hind Octane the coff ee shop

In the Great Gatsby F ScottFitzgerald remarks ldquoI like largeparties Teyrsquore so intimate Atsmall parties there isnrsquot any pri-vacyrdquo

Le Fat absolutely supports thisopinion the restaurant and all its

customers are captivated by a mu-tual energy Tere is nothing as-tonishing about the decor whichcould be improved but the smalldining room and closely arrangedtables bring another type of dy-namic mdash sound

Customers feel strangely com-fortable and happy with their fel-low restaurant-goers surroundingthem and laughing in an escapistmanner Loud restaurants can beirritating at times but its volumegives Le Fat a positive characteris-tic that makes the customersrsquo ex-perience much more fun

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

As an example of the serversrsquogood will Matthew a waiter lastSaturday walked through the

menu with a pescatarian custom-er outlining safe dishes and thosethat the cooks could modify with-out hesitation Te general hustleand bustle of the service sta ff givesthe dining room a busy vibe add-ing to the crazy high-tempo am-biance

Te ultimate objective of a res-taurant though is to serve superbfood and Le Fat does not let cus-tomers down by any means Tostart the bowl of phở broth at

only $3 is extremely a ff ordableand was smooth reserved anddelicious even without all the ricenoodles meat and herbs in a typi-cal bowl of phở

Te soft-shell BLT bun appe-tizer was n icely fried but proved tobe a bit overpowering when com-pared to the other delicate 1047298avorsof the steamed bun and the other1047297llers Te serverrsquos recommen-dation was the crowning jewel

though As an entree the clay potchicken achieves astounding lev-els of excellence

Te pot is brought to the tableand the server places it to lift thelid and overwhelm the guest withan immaculate fragrance Filled tothe brim with perfectly seasonedbeautifully cooked bite-sizedmorsels of chicken accompaniedby sauteacuteed onions peppers and aside of rice this dishrsquos simplicity

is what propels it to the next level Atlanta as a food Mecca

proves to be ever-expanding pro-viding new venue options everyyear (watch for the Ponce CityMarket food court openings)Tis year with Le Fat Guy Wongshows both his ability as a high-grade restaurateur and his culi-nary prowess as a chef a worthytrip for a magnetic atmosphereand fantastic food

Te Tech volleyball teamcoming off a 13-18 eff ort last sea-son has better intentions for theirsecond season under head coachMichelle Collier A Brazil nativeCoach Collier came to Tech lastseason after she took an impres-sive Jacksonville University Dol-phinrsquos team to the NCAA Tour-nament In her 1047297rst year as coachfor the Jackets the team showedimprovements from the previousseason in every statistical categoryand they to do the same this year

As the clock struck noon onFriday Aug 28 Yellow Jacketfans swarmed into the OrsquoKeefeGymnasium to cheer on the vol-leyball team in their season open-er against the Siena Bulldogs

Tis was the teamrsquos 1047297rst matchin the two-day four-match invita-tional known as the Georgia TechCourtyard by Marriott AtlantaMidtown Invitational and the

Jackets were out for a victory Ledby off ense from juniors TeeganVan Gunst and Lauren Pitz who

both had 9 kills the team played with u nity and ferocity sweepingthe Bulldogs in three sets 25-1425-17 and 25-17

Later that day the Jackets weremet with a challenge they couldnot surmount In a match that

went into the 1047297fth set Tech wasupended by the Coastal CarolinaChanticleers Te Jackets won the1047297rst set 25-17 and appeared to beon their way to another victory

however in the second and thirdframes Tech looked unwontedstruggling to 1047297nd its rhythmTech narrowly evaded defeat inthe fourth leg of the match es-caping with a 25-23 win but in a1047297fteen-point 1047297fth set the Chanti-cleers caught 1047297re winning the set15-9 and the match 3-2

A 1047297ve-set match would nothave been possible were it notfor the performances of the VanGunst twins juniors Teeganand Annika who both had hugematches

ldquoWe feed off each otherrsquos ener-gyrdquo T Van Gunst said ldquoWe pickeach other up when wersquore downand celebrate together in the goodmomentsrdquo

To this response the stats serveas evidence Annika had 13 killsand 13 digs while Teegan amassed22 kills and 13 digs Tough los-ing is never easy the Jackets werenot enervated by the defeat

ldquoWe just have to get past thisone and move on to the next twothis weekendrdquo T Van Gunst sa id

And move on they did Inthe two Saturday matches Tech

played with a vendetta embar-rassing their two opponents by apoint total of 150-80

In their noon contest againstUT-Martin the Jackets exercisedmore precision and volition thanthey did in their match versusCoastal Carolina limiting them-selves to only eleven errors Enroute to thumping the Skyhawks

junior London Ackerman pro-vided 1047297ve aces while sophomore

Sydney Wilson was mimicked by Annika as they contributed 11kills apiece

If hunger for redemption wasthe motivation for the UT-Martinmatch it was the status quo forthe Citadel match as Tech playedevery point with an edge Junior

Ashley Askinrsquos performance wasparticularly compelling as sheracked up 11 kills and 10 digs

throughout the match Sweep-ing the Bulldogs to wrap up theinvitational the Jackets now 1047297ndthemselves with a 3-1 record andan entire season ahead of them-selves Moving forward the Jack-ets look to do as all great teamshave done and turn this earlyseason momentum into a year in

which the Tech volleyball team will be remembered

Many students have gottenactively involved in stimulatinginterfaith discussion on campusldquoI would say that Georgia Techis pretty comfortable with di-versityrdquo said Sophia Rashid arecent Tech graduate with a de-gree in International A ff airs ldquoAtthe same time I feel like we donrsquot

necessarily engage that diver-sity because we sort of take it forgranted I think that we see eachother a lot but we donrsquot necessar-ily know each otherrdquo

Earlier this year Sophia along with four other Tech studentsattended the Interfaith Leader-ship Institute (ILI) a programintended to equip students to

work with diverse religious andnon-religious identities on their

own campuses Tose same 1047297veattendees came back to Tech andorganized Better Together Day

where about forty students andsta ff came to listen and speak onfaith and belief Sophia explainedthat shersquod advise everyone to en-gage with those of other faiths

ldquoDonrsquot be afraid to share whoyou are and to seek to connect

with people on a deep level Itrsquos

stunning how much people whoare diff erent can really strengtheneach other and inspire each otherand do good togetherrdquo SophiasaidTe ILI is an event organized

by the Interfaith Youth Core whose goal is according to So-phia to bring students together toldquobe visionary about how we can bemore proactive about building re-

lationships across the communityand identifying things that matterto all of us that we can work to-gether to have an impact onrdquo

One of those common pointsis the necessity of helping othersldquoItrsquos something that pervades allthe faith backgrounds that wersquovelooked intordquo said Elizabeth Balgaone of Georgia Techrsquos delegates tothe ILI and director of MOVE

Techrsquos volunteer organizationShe explained that she 1047297nds thiscommon point inspiring sinceinterfaith community service issomething shersquos very interestedin bringing about ldquoTatlsquos what I

would want to see people havingdialogue and then acting on thedialogue and using it as a platformto do good for both our campusand Atlantardquo Elizabeth said

Tese opportunities for dis-course arenrsquot just being organizedby the students however A newcourse IAC 3803 will be off eredin the spring that will treat the in-teraction of diff erent worldviewsldquoI began to become aware of adesire on the part of students tohave a venue where they can talkabout the relationships betweenscience and engineering and reli-gion particularly in the contextof interfaith activitiesrdquo explainedDr John Cressler the electricalengineering professor organizingthe course Cressler came to thetopic of interfaith dialogue dur-ing his research for his historical1047297ction novels which are set inmedieval Spain during a period

of coexistence of Islamic Jewishand Christian communities Tecourse will be small and heavilydiscussion based with a large em-phasis on ethical implications thatadvances in science and engineer-ing bring to the world and howdiff erent world views might deal

Te art of waking up early $amp$ (amp$)

$amp($amp) +amp$

Are you waking up every morn-ing enumerating all the expletivesin the English language Do youleave breakfast wishing that yourcup could hold more coff ee Doyou even eat breakfast at all Forall the inconveniences that anearly morning lecture brings itis a necessary evil for those of us

who seriously messed up our reg-istration Luckily not all is lostHere are a number of things thatyou can do to make your 8 amlecture not just bearable but en-

joyable As Ben Franklin once said

ldquoEarly to bed and early to risemakes a man healthy wealthy and

wiserdquo Going to bed early must beone of the most underrated evenridiculed ideas on any collegecampus However the bene1047297tsof sleeping early are indisputableStudies have shown that people

who go to sleep earlier are lesslikely to become obese and havebetter heart health Te 1047297rst stepto preparing for an early morn-

ing is sleeping earlier and why wouldnrsquot you if it could improveyour physical health

Secondly it is very importantto use an alarm correctly Te 1047297rstrule to using an alarm is that ifyou snooze you lose Hitting thesnooze button is never a good ideabecause falling asleep after yoursquovealready been woken up is detri-mental to your bodyrsquos circadianrhythms Plus it is important to

get used to waking up with con-viction if you are going to have todo it for the entire semester

Next make sure you allowyourself adequate time to showerget dressed and grab breakfastTere is no point in making it to

lecture on time if yoursquore starvingand you smell like a zoo Finallyhere comes the fun part choos-ing the jams that you wake up toPersonally I chose the most god-awful song I could possibly 1047297ndon my iPhone so that Irsquod have nochoice but to get out of bed andshut the darn thing up A songthat you like works just as well sothat your alarm isnrsquot too jolting inthe morning

Te 1047297nal step to waking upearly is to 1047297nd a reason why youdo it Some of us signed up forthe 8 am lecture because of theprofessor we really wanted Try to1047297nd something positive that re-sults from waking up Maybe you

have more free time in the after-noon Perhaps you get to see thesun rise or feel the frosty air that

will be long gone when all yourfriends emerge from their dorms

Whatever it is waking up forthat 8 am class shou ld be a bless-ing not a curse If you stick close-ly to the tips above and followyour routine consistently yoursquollbe strolling into 1047297rst period witha giant smile in no time

that the course will be structuredaround diversity and re1047298ectionand would not be a space for pros-elytizing ldquoTe invitation for stu-dents is that they will get to knowtheir worldview much betterrdquoCressler said Cressler will per-sonally handle applications thatinterested students can request byemail

Supporting this initiative isthe IDEALS survey which waslaunched this year and was sentout to all 1047297rst year students Tesurvey intends to gather informa-tion about belief and attitude to-

ward religion among the studentbody Te aim is to 1047297nd out whatmight be done to improve the cli-

mate of interfaith dialogue ldquoItrsquosabout creating safe spaces for it tohappen and part of it is knowing

where our student body stands which is what this survey let usknowrdquo explained Dr GeromeStephens Director for the Of-1047297ce of Leadership and Civic En-gagement Follow up surveys willcome in the future to assess howattitudes change during onersquos timeat Tech

With so much going on aroundcampus therersquos a lot for studentsto get involved in Tose inter-ested can contact Dean StephanieRay who is the Director of Diver-sity Programs or Sarah Perkins ofthe Office of Leadership and CivicManagement for more informa-tion

In March of this year ChefGuy Wong the restaurateur whodelivered Atlanta Asian fusion joints Miso Izakaya and YumBunz launched his third attemptat a hit restaurant Le Fat nestledamong countless other Westside restaurants and retail stores off ers Atlantans modestly priced Viet-namese food that is simple and well-executed

Just southwest of campus on

Marietta Street it is a manageable walk or a short Uber ride awayParking is available by valet or wherever possible as t here tend tobe open spots in the small lot be-hind Octane the coff ee shop

In the Great Gatsby F ScottFitzgerald remarks ldquoI like largeparties Teyrsquore so intimate Atsmall parties there isnrsquot any pri-vacyrdquo

Le Fat absolutely supports thisopinion the restaurant and all its

customers are captivated by a mu-tual energy Tere is nothing as-tonishing about the decor whichcould be improved but the smalldining room and closely arrangedtables bring another type of dy-namic mdash sound

Customers feel strangely com-fortable and happy with their fel-low restaurant-goers surroundingthem and laughing in an escapistmanner Loud restaurants can beirritating at times but its volumegives Le Fat a positive characteris-tic that makes the customersrsquo ex-perience much more fun

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

As an example of the serversrsquogood will Matthew a waiter lastSaturday walked through the

menu with a pescatarian custom-er outlining safe dishes and thosethat the cooks could modify with-out hesitation Te general hustleand bustle of the service sta ff givesthe dining room a busy vibe add-ing to the crazy high-tempo am-biance

Te ultimate objective of a res-taurant though is to serve superbfood and Le Fat does not let cus-tomers down by any means Tostart the bowl of phở broth at

only $3 is extremely a ff ordableand was smooth reserved anddelicious even without all the ricenoodles meat and herbs in a typi-cal bowl of phở

Te soft-shell BLT bun appe-tizer was n icely fried but proved tobe a bit overpowering when com-pared to the other delicate 1047298avorsof the steamed bun and the other1047297llers Te serverrsquos recommen-dation was the crowning jewel

though As an entree the clay potchicken achieves astounding lev-els of excellence

Te pot is brought to the tableand the server places it to lift thelid and overwhelm the guest withan immaculate fragrance Filled tothe brim with perfectly seasonedbeautifully cooked bite-sizedmorsels of chicken accompaniedby sauteacuteed onions peppers and aside of rice this dishrsquos simplicity

is what propels it to the next level Atlanta as a food Mecca

proves to be ever-expanding pro-viding new venue options everyyear (watch for the Ponce CityMarket food court openings)Tis year with Le Fat Guy Wongshows both his ability as a high-grade restaurateur and his culi-nary prowess as a chef a worthytrip for a magnetic atmosphereand fantastic food

both had 9 kills the team played with u nity and ferocity sweepingthe Bulldogs in three sets 25-1425-17 and 25-17

Later that day the Jackets weremet with a challenge they couldnot surmount In a match that

went into the 1047297fth set Tech wasupended by the Coastal CarolinaChanticleers Te Jackets won the1047297rst set 25-17 and appeared to beon their way to another victory

however in the second and thirdframes Tech looked unwontedstruggling to 1047297nd its rhythmTech narrowly evaded defeat inthe fourth leg of the match es-caping with a 25-23 win but in a1047297fteen-point 1047297fth set the Chanti-cleers caught 1047297re winning the set15-9 and the match 3-2

A 1047297ve-set match would nothave been possible were it notfor the performances of the VanGunst twins juniors Teeganand Annika who both had hugematches

ldquoWe feed off each otherrsquos ener-gyrdquo T Van Gunst said ldquoWe pickeach other up when wersquore downand celebrate together in the goodmomentsrdquo

To this response the stats serveas evidence Annika had 13 killsand 13 digs while Teegan amassed22 kills and 13 digs Tough los-ing is never easy the Jackets werenot enervated by the defeat

ldquoWe just have to get past thisone and move on to the next twothis weekendrdquo T Van Gunst sa id

And move on they did Inthe two Saturday matches Tech

played with a vendetta embar-rassing their two opponents by apoint total of 150-80

In their noon contest againstUT-Martin the Jackets exercisedmore precision and volition thanthey did in their match versusCoastal Carolina limiting them-selves to only eleven errors Enroute to thumping the Skyhawks

junior London Ackerman pro-vided 1047297ve aces while sophomore

Sydney Wilson was mimicked by Annika as they contributed 11kills apiece

If hunger for redemption wasthe motivation for the UT-Martinmatch it was the status quo forthe Citadel match as Tech playedevery point with an edge Junior

Ashley Askinrsquos performance wasparticularly compelling as sheracked up 11 kills and 10 digs

throughout the match Sweep-ing the Bulldogs to wrap up theinvitational the Jackets now 1047297ndthemselves with a 3-1 record andan entire season ahead of them-selves Moving forward the Jack-ets look to do as all great teamshave done and turn this earlyseason momentum into a year in

which the Tech volleyball team will be remembered

In the backdrop of a techni-cal university Tech is a campusrich in its world views thanks toits mix of cultures and religionsfrom around the world Many ofthe students here at Tech are ableto engage with those of similarbeliefs religious or otherwisethanks to the plethora of faith-based organizations Tis createsan opportunity for interfaith dia-logue mdash an opportunity beingused by students and sta ff fromvarious walks of Tech life Teseindividualsrsquo eff orts have led to thecreation of panels classes and sur-veys to help create an environmentbased on cooperation and under-standing at Tech

Many students have gottenactively involved in stimulatinginterfaith discussion on campusldquoI would say that Georgia Techis pretty comfortable with di-versityrdquo said Sophia Rashid arecent Tech graduate with a de-gree in International A ff airs ldquoAtthe same time I feel like we donrsquot

necessarily engage that diver-sity because we sort of take it forgranted I think that we see eachother a lot but we donrsquot necessar-ily know each otherrdquo

Earlier this year Sophia along with four other Tech studentsattended the Interfaith Leader-ship Institute (ILI) a programintended to equip students to

work with diverse religious andnon-religious identities on their

own campuses Tose same 1047297veattendees came back to Tech andorganized Better Together Day

where about forty students andsta ff came to listen and speak onfaith and belief Sophia explainedthat shersquod advise everyone to en-gage with those of other faiths

ldquoDonrsquot be afraid to share whoyou are and to seek to connect

with people on a deep level Itrsquos

stunning how much people whoare diff erent can really strengtheneach other and inspire each otherand do good togetherrdquo SophiasaidTe ILI is an event organized

by the Interfaith Youth Core whose goal is according to So-phia to bring students together toldquobe visionary about how we can bemore proactive about building re-

lationships across the communityand identifying things that matterto all of us that we can work to-gether to have an impact onrdquo

One of those common pointsis the necessity of helping othersldquoItrsquos something that pervades allthe faith backgrounds that wersquovelooked intordquo said Elizabeth Balgaone of Georgia Techrsquos delegates tothe ILI and director of MOVE

Techrsquos volunteer organizationShe explained that she 1047297nds thiscommon point inspiring sinceinterfaith community service issomething shersquos very interestedin bringing about ldquoTatlsquos what I

would want to see people havingdialogue and then acting on thedialogue and using it as a platformto do good for both our campusand Atlantardquo Elizabeth said

Tese opportunities for dis-course arenrsquot just being organizedby the students however A newcourse IAC 3803 will be off eredin the spring that will treat the in-teraction of diff erent worldviewsldquoI began to become aware of adesire on the part of students tohave a venue where they can talkabout the relationships betweenscience and engineering and reli-gion particularly in the contextof interfaith activitiesrdquo explainedDr John Cressler the electricalengineering professor organizingthe course Cressler came to thetopic of interfaith dialogue dur-ing his research for his historical1047297ction novels which are set inmedieval Spain during a period

of coexistence of Islamic Jewishand Christian communities Tecourse will be small and heavilydiscussion based with a large em-phasis on ethical implications thatadvances in science and engineer-ing bring to the world and howdiff erent world views might deal

Te art of waking up early $amp$ (amp$)

$amp($amp) +amp$

Are you waking up every morn-ing enumerating all the expletivesin the English language Do youleave breakfast wishing that yourcup could hold more coff ee Doyou even eat breakfast at all Forall the inconveniences that anearly morning lecture brings itis a necessary evil for those of us

who seriously messed up our reg-istration Luckily not all is lostHere are a number of things thatyou can do to make your 8 amlecture not just bearable but en-

joyable As Ben Franklin once said

ldquoEarly to bed and early to risemakes a man healthy wealthy and

wiserdquo Going to bed early must beone of the most underrated evenridiculed ideas on any collegecampus However the bene1047297tsof sleeping early are indisputableStudies have shown that people

who go to sleep earlier are lesslikely to become obese and havebetter heart health Te 1047297rst stepto preparing for an early morn-

ing is sleeping earlier and why wouldnrsquot you if it could improveyour physical health

Secondly it is very importantto use an alarm correctly Te 1047297rstrule to using an alarm is that ifyou snooze you lose Hitting thesnooze button is never a good ideabecause falling asleep after yoursquovealready been woken up is detri-mental to your bodyrsquos circadianrhythms Plus it is important to

get used to waking up with con-viction if you are going to have todo it for the entire semester

Next make sure you allowyourself adequate time to showerget dressed and grab breakfastTere is no point in making it to

lecture on time if yoursquore starvingand you smell like a zoo Finallyhere comes the fun part choos-ing the jams that you wake up toPersonally I chose the most god-awful song I could possibly 1047297ndon my iPhone so that Irsquod have nochoice but to get out of bed andshut the darn thing up A songthat you like works just as well sothat your alarm isnrsquot too jolting inthe morning

Te 1047297nal step to waking upearly is to 1047297nd a reason why youdo it Some of us signed up forthe 8 am lecture because of theprofessor we really wanted Try to1047297nd something positive that re-sults from waking up Maybe you

have more free time in the after-noon Perhaps you get to see thesun rise or feel the frosty air that

will be long gone when all yourfriends emerge from their dorms

Whatever it is waking up forthat 8 am class shou ld be a bless-ing not a curse If you stick close-ly to the tips above and followyour routine consistently yoursquollbe strolling into 1047297rst period witha giant smile in no time

that the course will be structuredaround diversity and re1047298ectionand would not be a space for pros-elytizing ldquoTe invitation for stu-dents is that they will get to knowtheir worldview much betterrdquoCressler said Cressler will per-sonally handle applications thatinterested students can request byemail

Supporting this initiative isthe IDEALS survey which waslaunched this year and was sentout to all 1047297rst year students Tesurvey intends to gather informa-tion about belief and attitude to-

ward religion among the studentbody Te aim is to 1047297nd out whatmight be done to improve the cli-

mate of interfaith dialogue ldquoItrsquosabout creating safe spaces for it tohappen and part of it is knowing

where our student body stands which is what this survey let usknowrdquo explained Dr GeromeStephens Director for the Of-1047297ce of Leadership and Civic En-gagement Follow up surveys willcome in the future to assess howattitudes change during onersquos timeat Tech

With so much going on aroundcampus therersquos a lot for studentsto get involved in Tose inter-ested can contact Dean StephanieRay who is the Director of Diver-sity Programs or Sarah Perkins ofthe Office of Leadership and CivicManagement for more informa-tion

In March of this year ChefGuy Wong the restaurateur whodelivered Atlanta Asian fusion joints Miso Izakaya and YumBunz launched his third attemptat a hit restaurant Le Fat nestledamong countless other Westside restaurants and retail stores off ers Atlantans modestly priced Viet-namese food that is simple and well-executed

Just southwest of campus on

Marietta Street it is a manageable walk or a short Uber ride awayParking is available by valet or wherever possible as t here tend tobe open spots in the small lot be-hind Octane the coff ee shop

In the Great Gatsby F ScottFitzgerald remarks ldquoI like largeparties Teyrsquore so intimate Atsmall parties there isnrsquot any pri-vacyrdquo

Le Fat absolutely supports thisopinion the restaurant and all its

customers are captivated by a mu-tual energy Tere is nothing as-tonishing about the decor whichcould be improved but the smalldining room and closely arrangedtables bring another type of dy-namic mdash sound

Customers feel strangely com-fortable and happy with their fel-low restaurant-goers surroundingthem and laughing in an escapistmanner Loud restaurants can beirritating at times but its volumegives Le Fat a positive characteris-tic that makes the customersrsquo ex-perience much more fun

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

As an example of the serversrsquogood will Matthew a waiter lastSaturday walked through the

menu with a pescatarian custom-er outlining safe dishes and thosethat the cooks could modify with-out hesitation Te general hustleand bustle of the service sta ff givesthe dining room a busy vibe add-ing to the crazy high-tempo am-biance

Te ultimate objective of a res-taurant though is to serve superbfood and Le Fat does not let cus-tomers down by any means Tostart the bowl of phở broth at

only $3 is extremely a ff ordableand was smooth reserved anddelicious even without all the ricenoodles meat and herbs in a typi-cal bowl of phở

Te soft-shell BLT bun appe-tizer was n icely fried but proved tobe a bit overpowering when com-pared to the other delicate 1047298avorsof the steamed bun and the other1047297llers Te serverrsquos recommen-dation was the crowning jewel

though As an entree the clay potchicken achieves astounding lev-els of excellence

Te pot is brought to the tableand the server places it to lift thelid and overwhelm the guest withan immaculate fragrance Filled tothe brim with perfectly seasonedbeautifully cooked bite-sizedmorsels of chicken accompaniedby sauteacuteed onions peppers and aside of rice this dishrsquos simplicity

is what propels it to the next level Atlanta as a food Mecca

proves to be ever-expanding pro-viding new venue options everyyear (watch for the Ponce CityMarket food court openings)Tis year with Le Fat Guy Wongshows both his ability as a high-grade restaurateur and his culi-nary prowess as a chef a worthytrip for a magnetic atmosphereand fantastic food

ldquoI did not think I was going torun in college at allrdquo Keady saidldquoI wasnrsquot that good in high schoolBut Coach Drosky came up to meafter the race and I had no ideahe was there and he invited me tothe team It was a very rewardingexperiencerdquo

Like most cross country run-ners Keady is also a member ofboth the indoor and outdoor trackteams but she considers crosscountry to be her favorite of thethree sports She is a highly mo-tivated runner and has been in-spired to run by her mother sincethe beginning

ldquoI ran my 1047297rst 5K race with mymom when I was sevenrdquo Keadysaid ldquoShe has always been a bigpart of my life and we always rantogether when I was youngerrdquo

If there is one aspect that Ke-ady would like the student bodyto know about her team it is theamount of eff ort that they putinto practice

ldquoCross country is de1047297nitely notvery glamorous Itrsquos not football

or anythingrdquo Keady said ldquoBut we work very hard Wersquore up at 5 amTuesdays and Fridays and still goto a full day of classes We run anaverage of over 10 miles per day

Te Tech volleyball teamcoming off a 13-18 eff ort last sea-son has better intentions for theirsecond season under head coachMichelle Collier A Brazil nativeCoach Collier came to Tech lastseason after she took an impres-sive Jacksonville University Dol-phinrsquos team to the NCAA Tour-nament In her 1047297rst year as coachfor the Jackets the team showedimprovements from the previousseason in every statistical categoryand they to do the same this year

As the clock struck noon onFriday Aug 28 Yellow Jacketfans swarmed into the OrsquoKeefeGymnasium to cheer on the vol-leyball team in their season open-er against the Siena Bulldogs

Tis was the teamrsquos 1047297rst matchin the two-day four-match invita-tional known as the Georgia TechCourtyard by Marriott AtlantaMidtown Invitational and the

Jackets were out for a victory Ledby off ense from juniors TeeganVan Gunst and Lauren Pitz who

both had 9 kills the team played with u nity and ferocity sweepingthe Bulldogs in three sets 25-1425-17 and 25-17

Later that day the Jackets weremet with a challenge they couldnot surmount In a match that

went into the 1047297fth set Tech wasupended by the Coastal CarolinaChanticleers Te Jackets won the1047297rst set 25-17 and appeared to beon their way to another victory

however in the second and thirdframes Tech looked unwontedstruggling to 1047297nd its rhythmTech narrowly evaded defeat inthe fourth leg of the match es-caping with a 25-23 win but in a1047297fteen-point 1047297fth set the Chanti-cleers caught 1047297re winning the set15-9 and the match 3-2

A 1047297ve-set match would nothave been possible were it notfor the performances of the VanGunst twins juniors Teeganand Annika who both had hugematches

ldquoWe feed off each otherrsquos ener-gyrdquo T Van Gunst said ldquoWe pickeach other up when wersquore downand celebrate together in the goodmomentsrdquo

To this response the stats serveas evidence Annika had 13 killsand 13 digs while Teegan amassed22 kills and 13 digs Tough los-ing is never easy the Jackets werenot enervated by the defeat

ldquoWe just have to get past thisone and move on to the next twothis weekendrdquo T Van Gunst sa id

And move on they did Inthe two Saturday matches Tech

played with a vendetta embar-rassing their two opponents by apoint total of 150-80

In their noon contest againstUT-Martin the Jackets exercisedmore precision and volition thanthey did in their match versusCoastal Carolina limiting them-selves to only eleven errors Enroute to thumping the Skyhawks

junior London Ackerman pro-vided 1047297ve aces while sophomore

Sydney Wilson was mimicked by Annika as they contributed 11kills apiece

If hunger for redemption wasthe motivation for the UT-Martinmatch it was the status quo forthe Citadel match as Tech playedevery point with an edge Junior

Ashley Askinrsquos performance wasparticularly compelling as sheracked up 11 kills and 10 digs

throughout the match Sweep-ing the Bulldogs to wrap up theinvitational the Jackets now 1047297ndthemselves with a 3-1 record andan entire season ahead of them-selves Moving forward the Jack-ets look to do as all great teamshave done and turn this earlyseason momentum into a year in

which the Tech volleyball team will be remembered

Te art of waking up early $amp$ (amp$)

$amp($amp) +amp$

Are you waking up every morn-ing enumerating all the expletivesin the English language Do youleave breakfast wishing that yourcup could hold more coff ee Doyou even eat breakfast at all Forall the inconveniences that anearly morning lecture brings itis a necessary evil for those of us

who seriously messed up our reg-istration Luckily not all is lostHere are a number of things thatyou can do to make your 8 amlecture not just bearable but en-

joyable As Ben Franklin once said

ldquoEarly to bed and early to risemakes a man healthy wealthy and

wiserdquo Going to bed early must beone of the most underrated evenridiculed ideas on any collegecampus However the bene1047297tsof sleeping early are indisputableStudies have shown that people

who go to sleep earlier are lesslikely to become obese and havebetter heart health Te 1047297rst stepto preparing for an early morn-

ing is sleeping earlier and why wouldnrsquot you if it could improveyour physical health

Secondly it is very importantto use an alarm correctly Te 1047297rstrule to using an alarm is that ifyou snooze you lose Hitting thesnooze button is never a good ideabecause falling asleep after yoursquovealready been woken up is detri-mental to your bodyrsquos circadianrhythms Plus it is important to

get used to waking up with con-viction if you are going to have todo it for the entire semester

Next make sure you allowyourself adequate time to showerget dressed and grab breakfastTere is no point in making it to

lecture on time if yoursquore starvingand you smell like a zoo Finallyhere comes the fun part choos-ing the jams that you wake up toPersonally I chose the most god-awful song I could possibly 1047297ndon my iPhone so that Irsquod have nochoice but to get out of bed andshut the darn thing up A songthat you like works just as well sothat your alarm isnrsquot too jolting inthe morning

Te 1047297nal step to waking upearly is to 1047297nd a reason why youdo it Some of us signed up forthe 8 am lecture because of theprofessor we really wanted Try to1047297nd something positive that re-sults from waking up Maybe you

have more free time in the after-noon Perhaps you get to see thesun rise or feel the frosty air that

will be long gone when all yourfriends emerge from their dorms

Whatever it is waking up forthat 8 am class shou ld be a bless-ing not a curse If you stick close-ly to the tips above and followyour routine consistently yoursquollbe strolling into 1047297rst period witha giant smile in no time

that the course will be structuredaround diversity and re1047298ectionand would not be a space for pros-elytizing ldquoTe invitation for stu-dents is that they will get to knowtheir worldview much betterrdquoCressler said Cressler will per-sonally handle applications thatinterested students can request byemail

Supporting this initiative isthe IDEALS survey which waslaunched this year and was sentout to all 1047297rst year students Tesurvey intends to gather informa-tion about belief and attitude to-

ward religion among the studentbody Te aim is to 1047297nd out whatmight be done to improve the cli-

mate of interfaith dialogue ldquoItrsquosabout creating safe spaces for it tohappen and part of it is knowing

where our student body stands which is what this survey let usknowrdquo explained Dr GeromeStephens Director for the Of-1047297ce of Leadership and Civic En-gagement Follow up surveys willcome in the future to assess howattitudes change during onersquos timeat Tech

With so much going on aroundcampus therersquos a lot for studentsto get involved in Tose inter-ested can contact Dean StephanieRay who is the Director of Diver-sity Programs or Sarah Perkins ofthe Office of Leadership and CivicManagement for more informa-tion

In March of this year ChefGuy Wong the restaurateur whodelivered Atlanta Asian fusion joints Miso Izakaya and YumBunz launched his third attemptat a hit restaurant Le Fat nestledamong countless other Westside restaurants and retail stores off ers Atlantans modestly priced Viet-namese food that is simple and well-executed

Just southwest of campus on

Marietta Street it is a manageable walk or a short Uber ride awayParking is available by valet or wherever possible as t here tend tobe open spots in the small lot be-hind Octane the coff ee shop

In the Great Gatsby F ScottFitzgerald remarks ldquoI like largeparties Teyrsquore so intimate Atsmall parties there isnrsquot any pri-vacyrdquo

Le Fat absolutely supports thisopinion the restaurant and all its

customers are captivated by a mu-tual energy Tere is nothing as-tonishing about the decor whichcould be improved but the smalldining room and closely arrangedtables bring another type of dy-namic mdash sound

Customers feel strangely com-fortable and happy with their fel-low restaurant-goers surroundingthem and laughing in an escapistmanner Loud restaurants can beirritating at times but its volumegives Le Fat a positive characteris-tic that makes the customersrsquo ex-perience much more fun

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

As an example of the serversrsquogood will Matthew a waiter lastSaturday walked through the

menu with a pescatarian custom-er outlining safe dishes and thosethat the cooks could modify with-out hesitation Te general hustleand bustle of the service sta ff givesthe dining room a busy vibe add-ing to the crazy high-tempo am-biance

Te ultimate objective of a res-taurant though is to serve superbfood and Le Fat does not let cus-tomers down by any means Tostart the bowl of phở broth at

only $3 is extremely a ff ordableand was smooth reserved anddelicious even without all the ricenoodles meat and herbs in a typi-cal bowl of phở

Te soft-shell BLT bun appe-tizer was n icely fried but proved tobe a bit overpowering when com-pared to the other delicate 1047298avorsof the steamed bun and the other1047297llers Te serverrsquos recommen-dation was the crowning jewel

though As an entree the clay potchicken achieves astounding lev-els of excellence

Te pot is brought to the tableand the server places it to lift thelid and overwhelm the guest withan immaculate fragrance Filled tothe brim with perfectly seasonedbeautifully cooked bite-sizedmorsels of chicken accompaniedby sauteacuteed onions peppers and aside of rice this dishrsquos simplicity

is what propels it to the next level Atlanta as a food Mecca

proves to be ever-expanding pro-viding new venue options everyyear (watch for the Ponce CityMarket food court openings)Tis year with Le Fat Guy Wongshows both his ability as a high-grade restaurateur and his culi-nary prowess as a chef a worthytrip for a magnetic atmosphereand fantastic food

Like most cross country run-ners Keady is also a member ofboth the indoor and outdoor trackteams but she considers crosscountry to be her favorite of thethree sports She is a highly mo-tivated runner and has been in-spired to run by her mother sincethe beginning

ldquoI ran my 1047297rst 5K race with mymom when I was sevenrdquo Keadysaid ldquoShe has always been a bigpart of my life and we always rantogether when I was youngerrdquo

If there is one aspect that Ke-ady would like the student bodyto know about her team it is theamount of eff ort that they putinto practice

ldquoCross country is de1047297nitely notvery glamorous Itrsquos not football

Te Tech volleyball teamcoming off a 13-18 eff ort last sea-son has better intentions for theirsecond season under head coachMichelle Collier A Brazil nativeCoach Collier came to Tech lastseason after she took an impres-sive Jacksonville University Dol-phinrsquos team to the NCAA Tour-nament In her 1047297rst year as coachfor the Jackets the team showedimprovements from the previousseason in every statistical categoryand they to do the same this year

As the clock struck noon onFriday Aug 28 Yellow Jacketfans swarmed into the OrsquoKeefeGymnasium to cheer on the vol-leyball team in their season open-er against the Siena Bulldogs

Tis was the teamrsquos 1047297rst matchin the two-day four-match invita-tional known as the Georgia TechCourtyard by Marriott AtlantaMidtown Invitational and the

Jackets were out for a victory Ledby off ense from juniors TeeganVan Gunst and Lauren Pitz who

both had 9 kills the team played with u nity and ferocity sweepingthe Bulldogs in three sets 25-1425-17 and 25-17

Later that day the Jackets weremet with a challenge they couldnot surmount In a match that

went into the 1047297fth set Tech wasupended by the Coastal CarolinaChanticleers Te Jackets won the1047297rst set 25-17 and appeared to beon their way to another victory

however in the second and thirdframes Tech looked unwontedstruggling to 1047297nd its rhythmTech narrowly evaded defeat inthe fourth leg of the match es-caping with a 25-23 win but in a1047297fteen-point 1047297fth set the Chanti-cleers caught 1047297re winning the set15-9 and the match 3-2

A 1047297ve-set match would nothave been possible were it notfor the performances of the VanGunst twins juniors Teeganand Annika who both had hugematches

ldquoWe feed off each otherrsquos ener-gyrdquo T Van Gunst said ldquoWe pickeach other up when wersquore downand celebrate together in the goodmomentsrdquo

To this response the stats serveas evidence Annika had 13 killsand 13 digs while Teegan amassed22 kills and 13 digs Tough los-ing is never easy the Jackets werenot enervated by the defeat

ldquoWe just have to get past thisone and move on to the next twothis weekendrdquo T Van Gunst sa id

And move on they did Inthe two Saturday matches Tech

played with a vendetta embar-rassing their two opponents by apoint total of 150-80

In their noon contest againstUT-Martin the Jackets exercisedmore precision and volition thanthey did in their match versusCoastal Carolina limiting them-selves to only eleven errors Enroute to thumping the Skyhawks

junior London Ackerman pro-vided 1047297ve aces while sophomore

Sydney Wilson was mimicked by Annika as they contributed 11kills apiece

If hunger for redemption wasthe motivation for the UT-Martinmatch it was the status quo forthe Citadel match as Tech playedevery point with an edge Junior

Ashley Askinrsquos performance wasparticularly compelling as sheracked up 11 kills and 10 digs

throughout the match Sweep-ing the Bulldogs to wrap up theinvitational the Jackets now 1047297ndthemselves with a 3-1 record andan entire season ahead of them-selves Moving forward the Jack-ets look to do as all great teamshave done and turn this earlyseason momentum into a year in

which the Tech volleyball team will be remembered

Just southwest of campus on

Marietta Street it is a manageable walk or a short Uber ride awayParking is available by valet or wherever possible as t here tend tobe open spots in the small lot be-hind Octane the coff ee shop

In the Great Gatsby F ScottFitzgerald remarks ldquoI like largeparties Teyrsquore so intimate Atsmall parties there isnrsquot any pri-vacyrdquo

Le Fat absolutely supports thisopinion the restaurant and all its

customers are captivated by a mu-tual energy Tere is nothing as-tonishing about the decor whichcould be improved but the smalldining room and closely arrangedtables bring another type of dy-namic mdash sound

Customers feel strangely com-fortable and happy with their fel-low restaurant-goers surroundingthem and laughing in an escapistmanner Loud restaurants can beirritating at times but its volumegives Le Fat a positive characteris-tic that makes the customersrsquo ex-perience much more fun

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

As an example of the serversrsquogood will Matthew a waiter lastSaturday walked through the

menu with a pescatarian custom-er outlining safe dishes and thosethat the cooks could modify with-out hesitation Te general hustleand bustle of the service sta ff givesthe dining room a busy vibe add-ing to the crazy high-tempo am-biance

Te ultimate objective of a res-taurant though is to serve superbfood and Le Fat does not let cus-tomers down by any means Tostart the bowl of phở broth at

only $3 is extremely a ff ordableand was smooth reserved anddelicious even without all the ricenoodles meat and herbs in a typi-cal bowl of phở

Te soft-shell BLT bun appe-tizer was n icely fried but proved tobe a bit overpowering when com-pared to the other delicate 1047298avorsof the steamed bun and the other1047297llers Te serverrsquos recommen-dation was the crowning jewel

though As an entree the clay potchicken achieves astounding lev-els of excellence

Te pot is brought to the tableand the server places it to lift thelid and overwhelm the guest withan immaculate fragrance Filled tothe brim with perfectly seasonedbeautifully cooked bite-sizedmorsels of chicken accompaniedby sauteacuteed onions peppers and aside of rice this dishrsquos simplicity

is what propels it to the next level Atlanta as a food Mecca

proves to be ever-expanding pro-viding new venue options everyyear (watch for the Ponce CityMarket food court openings)Tis year with Le Fat Guy Wongshows both his ability as a high-grade restaurateur and his culi-nary prowess as a chef a worthytrip for a magnetic atmosphereand fantastic food

both had 9 kills the team played with u nity and ferocity sweepingthe Bulldogs in three sets 25-1425-17 and 25-17

Later that day the Jackets weremet with a challenge they couldnot surmount In a match that

went into the 1047297fth set Tech wasupended by the Coastal CarolinaChanticleers Te Jackets won the1047297rst set 25-17 and appeared to beon their way to another victory

however in the second and thirdframes Tech looked unwontedstruggling to 1047297nd its rhythmTech narrowly evaded defeat inthe fourth leg of the match es-caping with a 25-23 win but in a1047297fteen-point 1047297fth set the Chanti-cleers caught 1047297re winning the set15-9 and the match 3-2

A 1047297ve-set match would nothave been possible were it notfor the performances of the VanGunst twins juniors Teeganand Annika who both had hugematches

ldquoWe feed off each otherrsquos ener-gyrdquo T Van Gunst said ldquoWe pickeach other up when wersquore downand celebrate together in the goodmomentsrdquo

To this response the stats serveas evidence Annika had 13 killsand 13 digs while Teegan amassed22 kills and 13 digs Tough los-ing is never easy the Jackets werenot enervated by the defeat

ldquoWe just have to get past thisone and move on to the next twothis weekendrdquo T Van Gunst sa id

And move on they did Inthe two Saturday matches Tech

played with a vendetta embar-rassing their two opponents by apoint total of 150-80

In their noon contest againstUT-Martin the Jackets exercisedmore precision and volition thanthey did in their match versusCoastal Carolina limiting them-selves to only eleven errors Enroute to thumping the Skyhawks

junior London Ackerman pro-vided 1047297ve aces while sophomore

Sydney Wilson was mimicked by Annika as they contributed 11kills apiece

If hunger for redemption wasthe motivation for the UT-Martinmatch it was the status quo forthe Citadel match as Tech playedevery point with an edge Junior

Ashley Askinrsquos performance wasparticularly compelling as sheracked up 11 kills and 10 digs

throughout the match Sweep-ing the Bulldogs to wrap up theinvitational the Jackets now 1047297ndthemselves with a 3-1 record andan entire season ahead of them-selves Moving forward the Jack-ets look to do as all great teamshave done and turn this earlyseason momentum into a year in

which the Tech volleyball team will be remembered

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

Te Tech volleyball teamcoming off a 13-18 eff ort last sea-son has better intentions for theirsecond season under head coachMichelle Collier A Brazil nativeCoach Collier came to Tech lastseason after she took an impres-sive Jacksonville University Dol-phinrsquos team to the NCAA Tour-nament In her 1047297rst year as coachfor the Jackets the team showedimprovements from the previousseason in every statistical categoryand they to do the same this year

As the clock struck noon onFriday Aug 28 Yellow Jacketfans swarmed into the OrsquoKeefeGymnasium to cheer on the vol-leyball team in their season open-er against the Siena Bulldogs

Tis was the teamrsquos 1047297rst matchin the two-day four-match invita-tional known as the Georgia TechCourtyard by Marriott AtlantaMidtown Invitational and the

Jackets were out for a victory Ledby off ense from juniors TeeganVan Gunst and Lauren Pitz who

both had 9 kills the team played with u nity and ferocity sweepingthe Bulldogs in three sets 25-1425-17 and 25-17

Later that day the Jackets weremet with a challenge they couldnot surmount In a match that

went into the 1047297fth set Tech wasupended by the Coastal CarolinaChanticleers Te Jackets won the1047297rst set 25-17 and appeared to beon their way to another victory

however in the second and thirdframes Tech looked unwontedstruggling to 1047297nd its rhythmTech narrowly evaded defeat inthe fourth leg of the match es-caping with a 25-23 win but in a1047297fteen-point 1047297fth set the Chanti-cleers caught 1047297re winning the set15-9 and the match 3-2

A 1047297ve-set match would nothave been possible were it notfor the performances of the VanGunst twins juniors Teeganand Annika who both had hugematches

ldquoWe feed off each otherrsquos ener-gyrdquo T Van Gunst said ldquoWe pickeach other up when wersquore downand celebrate together in the goodmomentsrdquo

To this response the stats serveas evidence Annika had 13 killsand 13 digs while Teegan amassed22 kills and 13 digs Tough los-ing is never easy the Jackets werenot enervated by the defeat

ldquoWe just have to get past thisone and move on to the next twothis weekendrdquo T Van Gunst sa id

And move on they did Inthe two Saturday matches Tech

played with a vendetta embar-rassing their two opponents by apoint total of 150-80

In their noon contest againstUT-Martin the Jackets exercisedmore precision and volition thanthey did in their match versusCoastal Carolina limiting them-selves to only eleven errors Enroute to thumping the Skyhawks

junior London Ackerman pro-vided 1047297ve aces while sophomore

Sydney Wilson was mimicked by Annika as they contributed 11kills apiece

If hunger for redemption wasthe motivation for the UT-Martinmatch it was the status quo forthe Citadel match as Tech playedevery point with an edge Junior

Ashley Askinrsquos performance wasparticularly compelling as sheracked up 11 kills and 10 digs

throughout the match Sweep-ing the Bulldogs to wrap up theinvitational the Jackets now 1047297ndthemselves with a 3-1 record andan entire season ahead of them-selves Moving forward the Jack-ets look to do as all great teamshave done and turn this earlyseason momentum into a year in

In March of this year ChefGuy Wong the restaurateur whodelivered Atlanta Asian fusion joints Miso Izakaya and YumBunz launched his third attemptat a hit restaurant Le Fat nestledamong countless other Westside restaurants and retail stores off ers Atlantans modestly priced Viet-namese food that is simple and well-executed

Just southwest of campus on

Marietta Street it is a manageable walk or a short Uber ride awayParking is available by valet or wherever possible as t here tend tobe open spots in the small lot be-hind Octane the coff ee shop

In the Great Gatsby F ScottFitzgerald remarks ldquoI like largeparties Teyrsquore so intimate Atsmall parties there isnrsquot any pri-vacyrdquo

Le Fat absolutely supports thisopinion the restaurant and all its

customers are captivated by a mu-tual energy Tere is nothing as-tonishing about the decor whichcould be improved but the smalldining room and closely arrangedtables bring another type of dy-namic mdash sound

Customers feel strangely com-fortable and happy with their fel-low restaurant-goers surroundingthem and laughing in an escapistmanner Loud restaurants can beirritating at times but its volumegives Le Fat a positive characteris-tic that makes the customersrsquo ex-perience much more fun

From a service perspective Le Fat seems more like a veteran es-tablishment than the rookie bras-serie it is It is easy and convenientto call and make a reservation ei-ther for the same day or for weeksin advance

Te servers were vibrant yetto the point Tey can only speak with passion as they must raisetheir voices to communicate overthe wonderful background noise

As an example of the serversrsquogood will Matthew a waiter lastSaturday walked through the

menu with a pescatarian custom-er outlining safe dishes and thosethat the cooks could modify with-out hesitation Te general hustleand bustle of the service sta ff givesthe dining room a busy vibe add-ing to the crazy high-tempo am-biance

Te ultimate objective of a res-taurant though is to serve superbfood and Le Fat does not let cus-tomers down by any means Tostart the bowl of phở broth at

only $3 is extremely a ff ordableand was smooth reserved anddelicious even without all the ricenoodles meat and herbs in a typi-cal bowl of phở

Te soft-shell BLT bun appe-tizer was n icely fried but proved tobe a bit overpowering when com-pared to the other delicate 1047298avorsof the steamed bun and the other1047297llers Te serverrsquos recommen-dation was the crowning jewel

though As an entree the clay potchicken achieves astounding lev-els of excellence

Te pot is brought to the tableand the server places it to lift thelid and overwhelm the guest withan immaculate fragrance Filled tothe brim with perfectly seasonedbeautifully cooked bite-sizedmorsels of chicken accompaniedby sauteacuteed onions peppers and aside of rice this dishrsquos simplicity

is what propels it to the next level Atlanta as a food Mecca

proves to be ever-expanding pro-viding new venue options everyyear (watch for the Ponce CityMarket food court openings)Tis year with Le Fat Guy Wongshows both his ability as a high-grade restaurateur and his culi-nary prowess as a chef a worthytrip for a magnetic atmosphereand fantastic food
